GreenCactus Posted April 12, 2009 Report Posted April 12, 2009 Shoot, I'm late by 6 hours.... :banghead: I forgot the deadline was today! Chris, can you extend it for us? :turtle:
Maxicooper Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Posted April 12, 2009 Deadline is extended to May 9th @ noon.
Blockhead Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 We need to brainstorm on how to get more participation in the contests from our members. Everyone loves to look at the photos but there are usually only a handful of us that ever submit. Just some food for thought: 1) Relax the rules a little. How about instead of the rule where the photo must be taken within the month of the contest, maybe we can have it within the last 6 months or year or something? A lot of people take photos during DCMM events but can't use them in the contests because of timing. 2) Maybe a little incentive.... $10 Starbucks card to the winner? DCMM supplied of course. Laura & Dave...can we dip into the petty cash drawer? 3) Lastly, let's allow the master of photography to submit. Maxicooper has the best photos and I love to look at anything he does. Of course, he'd win every single time so maybe we can let him submit but can't win....? :laugh: Thoughts? Glenn [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

A lot of people take photos during DCMM events but can't use them in the contests because of timing. Can do. Make it "Picture(s) has to be taken within the last 6 months. Counting from the submitting date. 2) Maybe a little incentive.... $10 Starbucks card to the winner? DCMM supplied of course. Laura & Dave...can we dip into the petty cash drawer? Good idea. Actually, we also need a couple of 8" x 10" art frames (12 to be exact ), to be used for displaying the winning pictures at MoT's. Donation? 3) Lastly, let's allow the master of photography to submit. Maxicooper has the best photos and I love to look at anything he does. Of course, he'd win every single time so maybe we can let him submit but can't win....? :laugh: Thoughts? Glenn I don't know about that and I'm not that good btw. :embarassed: Let's keep it the way it was. "Organizer is not allowed to join the contest". Edited April 13, 2009 by Maxicooper
that7guy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Posted April 13, 2009 Photo's taken within the last 6 months makes it much easier and I would also like to see Maxi's pictures. I'm glad the contest was extended cause my entry was a failure. I'm working on an awesome on now.... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Blockhead Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Come on, Chris...submit some photos. It'll give us amateurs a high bar to shoot for. :top: g. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

CARdiac Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 boy I guess so...what an idiot...that's not even legal in MD. It is FL... I went to a vehicle inspection (when they used to do it) and got dinged b/c my gas cap seal was cracked... but the truck in front of me was so low to the ground he had his gas tank suspended from bungee chords in the bed.... and he passed. :banghead: Joel My Flickr Site The proud owner of a 2005 DS/B MCS-JCW...God is my Co-Pilot, but Satan has his foot on the Gas!!!
