Previously there was a assignments or contest that had been going on. Not sure if now they still run it, as I don't login often now, so only read the sub-forum of my interests.
The season of the contest will run for 1 year, each month there will be a different assignment given. After the dateline of each assignment ended, a rating will be given and top 10 photos will be awarded with points. By the end of the season, the photographer that had the highest total point will be winner!
Rating for the photos I think was done by moderators.
Anyway, can't remember the details already.... but that is bascially how it goes.
But problem I think it surface is too many admin works by the moderators, and the photos submitted will total to few hundreds even if 1 member can only submit 1 photos. Need lots of server disk space to host all the photos. Lastly, gift.... who and where to sponser?
Unless we play it like pooling the money, every photo submitted by each member will charge $2.00
So if 100 members submit 1 photo each on every assignment, we will have $200 per assignment, by the end of a season we will have $2400...
Take away $250 for server and CS admin charges...
still got $700 for 1st price, $500 for 2nd and $250 for 3rd. $100 each for 4th to the 10th place.....
