POTW is coming back in a new way

**postcardcv** · #1 12-08-12, 09:08

We've been trying to work out the best way to run the POTW competition and think we might have a system that most will be happy with. There were some clear issues with bassing it on number of gallery comments but also it being choosen by the mods doesn't seem ideal either.

So here is the new system which we will try and see how it goes (obviously we can make alterations if needed). Each member will be able to email their choice for photo of the week to 'wpf-potw @ hotmail.co.uk' (without the gaps) they will need to include the title of the photo and the name of the member who took it (and a link if possible). This way each member will get one anonomous vote each week, a mod will then collect the votes and post details of the POTW up on the forum.

I would ask members to email their choice after midnight GMT on Saturday and before midnight GMT on the Monday (choosing between photos posted upto midnight GMT on the Saturday). The result will be posted onto the forum in the following days.

You've clearly been thinking hard and I for one support your proposal. Could the details be included in the banner "Gallery Information" so it's nice and handy?

Sounds like it could work. Like Peters idea as I think it will need to be as obverse as possible to everyone and lots of reminders to vote.

sounds good, anything is worth a try,I think a reminder wound be good too,being on a different time zone I get confused with the times....when is it starting?

I agree with the above, there has to be a very obvious banner somewhere with instructions of what to do etc. Look forward to seeing the new POTW starting, hopefully you will make it obvious when it kicks off.

Sounds like a good idea, it'll high-light the gallery as a bonus too.

Good to see POTW return.

When does it start?

**postcardcv** · #8 15-08-12, 18:09

Let's kick it off from this week - so from midnight Saturday email details of your favourite POTW (so any photo taken between then and midnight the previous Saturday). I know that this isn't the easiest way to vote but hopefully it will work and we can get it up and running again, the system can always be tweeked as we go along.

So far I have had some votes for POTW but I am sure there are more to come, please vote now.

I tried to vote last night, maybe it was too late as the e-mail came back undelivered or else I put in the wrong address!
