A thought for this site

Would it be interesting to have a forum/section of this site that sets

up assignment shots (like shutterbug's "Picture this" thing) for

poeple to submit photos to, and then have the members of the site vote

for the best? . have a bi-weekly or monthly winner?

 

It would be like the 'No Words' forum but slower and somebody wins!

 

I think it would be an interesting addition to the site. The only

problem I could for see is everybody votes for their own picture. so

to solve that it could be made were you cannot vote for your own

submssion. and the other problem is that most likely the winner will

be a 'mass market' kind of view .. like the person who sells out most

or something. but good work is good work.

and there would also have to be a limit on the number of submissions that one could make.

also whenever the winner was posted, it could be in form of a list of the top 50 or 100. this might be variable depending on how dispersed the votes for the different submissions are.

sorry to post so many times.

 

and at the end of the year a vote for the, say, top ten winners of the monthly contests could be held and a picture of the year could selected.

 

there might also be a need/want for several categories, to compete separetely, like landscape, cars, nudity, macro nudity, etc.

There is a small sub-group of photo.net called <a href="http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=617763">Picture This</a> that you might be interested in. They have assignments weekly or monthly, and focus a lot of there efforts on providing a constructive, critique based open-minded community. I am a former member and would recommend it to anyone interested in receiving more honest and construstive feedback on their work, and also anyone that is interested in this sort of "group assignment" work.
