I'd like to see more people joining in on all the photo related stuff. Ken I know you must have your hands full, but do you think more interest would be generated if everything was done on a 7 day window? 7 days to post, 7 days to votes etc, and then maybe stagger 2 comps / events so effectively you never have to wait more than 7 days for something to vote on.
Cheers

I try to always have at least one vote running and also at least one request for submissions. A 7 day dead line is a little difficult to stick rigidly to as some people are only able to access a 'puter at work or only on certain days.
As we move towards better weather (!) some of the flower contests will run for 2 weeks as this has to include a reasonable period for people in different parts of the country to compete. ie: Starting in February, the first two weeks will be early Feb flowers and the second two weeks for the later ones.
If this is well supported it should continue right through the season. The categories todate have not been quite so much garden/allotment related due to me not being involved until late October last year.
'General' pic's will still be requested but as time goes on, more requests for home grown things will be more requested.
There's a plan in the pipeline to also ask for pic's of flowers/veg etc without a contest base but with a particular 'item' requested.
Thanks for the feed back, DF; much appreciated and any other ideas will certainly be be 'put in the book'.
Ken.
