    Should/Can we bring back the photo comp?

    Hello All.
    For those who are newish to AULRO, we use to have a weekly (could be fortnightly) photo comp. for example, birds, mud, oil spill lol.
    Each week a new topic was chosen and people uploaded photos to align with that topic. Once the week was over people could vote. The winner would choose the next topic.
    Even though I didnt and still dont have a good camera, I really enjoyed it and found it a good excuse to get out and about.
    I also really enjoyed seeing the different photos others came up with.

    I am fairly sure it closed due to lack of interest. I was wondering if it is possible and if the interest is there to restart this?

    Looking forward to your thoughts
    Landy Smurf

    I've been here a while and I don't remember it. Perhaps it might get up now that we have this "New Posts" feature, so, why not? I'd like to see it.

    august 2011 seems to be the last comp
    Photo Comp #34 - "Parks/Outdoor" ends 21st August
    I could be wrong though.
    I will just leave this post go for a few more days and if the mods are ok with it and there is a positive attitude towards it, we can start it up again.

    Sounds like a terrific idea Landy Smurf

    I found a few old competition threads.... looks like we started a new thread each topic...

    Photo Competition #17 - Ends 19-July

    Photo Competition #26 - Ends 20th September


    Does anyone else remember how these used to run?


    Sounds like we should define how it works again and Landy Smurf should kick off the first topic!


    What do people think?

    I will look into the rules. I am sure they are posted somewhere.
    Yes every week was a new topic and a new thread.

    I'll have a poke around when I get back from work tonight. I was around the forum when these were being run, but somehow I don't think i got involved...

    I'll also see if any of the Mods remember or can find anything -Maybe I'll get Ron on the job

    It looks like we may have had a few versions of this Photo competition. The first I found was started by Dullbird in 2008!

    Photo competition: Topic number 1


    I also found a post outlining the rules for 2011 by our late friend Bushie:

    Photo Comp Rules.


    I reckon Dullbird's original proposal looks pretty good... how do you all want this to work?...

    I think we could just copy and paste her rules. It is spot on. Thanks for the help

    Sounds like we are on the way to a plan.

    I reckon same timings starting Sundays probably works....

    Let's give it a day or two for others to pitch in any thoughts and plan to start this coming Sunday?

    That will also give you some time to ponder what the first topic should be
