Hi there Al and any others who read this. I think something has to happen to revive and encourage entries into our competitions, but I'm at a loss to know what. Is this a seasonal thing? ie: many on holiday or away so unable to enter? I know this weekend was very busy for me so I was unable to enter. PERHAPS a Three Week Competition might solve that, and I would agree Al that it should have similar rules to the weekly we run now. Photos taken between say 1st and 21st of the month, week for voting, winner picks next subject. This would keep each competition within a month and give time to enter for those with busy lives and a breather for those months which are more than 28 days long. Member poll to decide winner and all winners displayed in Winners Gallery. Each January perhaps a members Poll on the 12 Winners to decide Photo of the Year. Perhaps a Certificate for monthly Winners (it could be sent by email for the member to print off) and a Plaque for WPF Photographer of the Year could be arranged?
