Since I somehow managed to confuse myself ... there is actually another day left to the contest. For some odd reason, I thought it ended today, but it ends tomorrow. So, if you'd still like to get a photo in for the contest, you have until 11pm EST tomorrow night.

Forgive my lapse of time; old age is catching up to me (:

Since this IS a photo community, I thought I would share this great album a friend of mine passed along to me. It has some really amazing photos. Thought, those of us who enjoy photographs, would enjoy this (:

Scroll down a tad and they'll be on the right hand side.

Congratulations to [personal profile] frith for winning the 4th community contest! The points have been awarded, please let me know if you do not get them within 24 hours.




Theme for contest #4 will be a color. I thought I would do another 'easier' prompt, since we've had two slightly more difficult ones.

Contest 4's theme is GREEN

Greetings [community profile] photographic_i!

I am going to test run having two contests in one month. Therefore, the due date for Contest #3 (Shadow) has changed; all photos are now due by March 11th, 11pm EST.

We will then have the voting for a few days (instead of a whole week), and then the next contest will be announced along with the winner.

Let's see how this goes, and if it works better, I'll keep it this way. This will give two people a chance to win in one month.

Good luck, and more importantly, have fun!

Please submit your entry photo by March 11th, 11pm Eastern Standard Time, and remember to tag your submission with contest: 3. As usual, the winners of contests receive 30 points to be used as they wish (paid time, gift shop, gift for others, etc).

Have fun! And remember, you may always post photos that have nothing to do with the contest. :)


I do have a question though—Would you all like to have two contests in one month versus the once a month I’ve been doing?

Or, do you like having time to take your photo, process it, and then post it?

If we did it twice a month, we’d of course shorten the time contestants had to submit photos, and the time to vote. BUT, it would give two folks a chance to win in one month, instead of just one winner.

I am trying to get the community to be a little more active. I do like that so many are posting entries for the contests, but I would like to see more going on ‘in-between’ the time a contest starts and the time the voting begins as well.

Please share your thoughts, thank you!

Please remember the community rules … no photo bigger than 600 pixels in width. You may post a LARGER image of your photo, under a cut, and direct folks to view beneath the cut. If you aren’t sure on how to do a cut, please view the profile to this community.

Please vote! The theme for this contest was: BLUE.

Voting will end on January 31st at Midnight, EST.

You may share the link to this entry so that others may vote as well. I am hoping this doesn't turn into a 'favorites' type of deal, but for now we'll see how it goes and hope that folks vote for what they truly like best.

The theme for contest!#2, will also be announced on February first, along with the winner (who will get their prize that day as well).

Y’know, I think I will start the first contest with the folks we do have. This is NOT to prevent folks from posting photos that have nothing to do with the contest. PLEASE continue to post photos.

I will choose something VERY simple for this first contest. If folks want to submit ideas for future contests, please comment to this post. I’ll save it as an ‘idea’ post.

"BLUE" – Use your imagination. It can be the color, the emotion, etc.

Submissions are due by 12:01am EST, January 24th. I will post a poll with the submissions, and community members will vote. Voting will end at Midnight on January, 31st and a winner will be announced/awarded the first day of February.

Winner will receive 30 dreamwidth points.

Please tag your submission entry with: contest!#1

**If you do not tag your entry, I will most likely miss it, since I will search for the tag when looking for the submissions. So, it’s important you do tag the entry. ***

Hello fellow Photographers!

I am here to get your opinions. I’d like to increase the activity on this community. I was wondering if anyone had ideas? I’ve posted to some “promote’ type of communities, but that doesn’t seem to be working.

I realize DW is not as active, when it comes to communities, as Livejournal is… but I am hoping that will change.

If you have friends in your circle who enjoy taking and posting photos, and wouldn't mind shooting them in our direction, that would be totally awesome.

If we actually get enough active folks, I am thinking of doing monthly contests with a small prize for the top winner. I’m thinking of buying POINTS for folks who win, and they can use the points for paid time or save up the points for merchandise in the store, etc. This way, we support dreamwidth and give folks a small incentive. Thoughts?

Input is greatly appreciated. I know folks are busy, and I know that DW is a bit more on the ‘quiet’ side …but I’m hoping we can still get some active folks to join up.

Thanks!
Marcia
