Can we have a contest?

Post by rocks2dust »

I'm thinking of a little game to encourage posting more photos of gems, minerals and/or just plain rocks. I'm willing to put up prizes, if anyone wishes to play. Winners would be random, but posting a photo(s) needed for an entry. If anyone thinks it is a good idea, which forum would be best to post the contest thread?

Oh yes, there must be prizes. I will want to clear out some things because our local gem and mineral shows are coming next month and I need to make some space ;)

Oh what a wonderful idea!! Can't wait to hear how we'll do this, and hopefully I can enter, and maybe even find something to donate for a prize, too. What fun! Great idea!! :idea:

Hopefully we could get some newbies, lurkers and members who haven't been around here in a while to enter. It won't be based on skill or anything like that - winning entries will be verifiably random.

I'm wondering in which forum would it be best to start the contest thread: "General Chat" or "Photography" or some other?

I'll go ahead and start something on the Photography forum, and if that's not a good place for it, just move it to somewhere better.

Perfect! I just read the thread and it looks like you have thought of everything, and covered it all very well in the guidelines for the contest. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes, and thank you so much for coming up with it. It's about time we had a little fun around here! :D
