Halloween/Fall picture contest?

[Kfamr]

I'd be willing to hold the contest if anyone isn't yet.

[finn's mom]

I definitely think it should just be a fall thing, that way you can decide if you want to specify a holiday (halloween or thanksgiving)...or if you just want to go with the general fall look. Halloween is so specific. I think an autumn theme would enable more people to participate, and, make the contest more interesting. I've never really liked the whole photoshoot thing, but, I think I got a couple that are cute of Finn. I'd offer to host the contest, but, I wouldn't know where to start, and, I am not going to have much time here by the end of the week! I hope kfamr or someone else can host it, I think it will be fun!

I was thinking maybe a "Holiday Spirit" Contest... It could be any of the Holidays that are celebrated in the months of October, November, and December. I was actually trying to think of something last night before I read this thread.

What do you all think of it, should it strictly be Fall/Halloween?

I like the idea of including the winter months, too...would we be able to make it where it wasn't just holidays, though? Like if someone just wanted to contribute a photo of their dog in the snow...that wouldn't be necessarily a christmas photo, but, it would be ok if it was just a fall/winter contest...I don't know...just trying to think of everything...I think a seasonal thing would be cool, that way it isn't just limited to holidays, but, the holidays are included.

[Kfamr]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but don't know what to call it. The Holiday Seasons, maybe?

I don't know...umm...end of the year? Months that end in -er? ha ha, sorry, I'm brainstorming...and, not coming up with much...Fall/Winter seems so drab...I guess it doesn't really matter too much what you call it, as long as the rules are clear as to what's allowed. Like calling it The Holiday Season would be awesome, but, let people know that it doesn't have to necessarily be a holiday that they use as inspiration for their photoshoot...then, the person hosting it could maybe split up voting into specifics...like fall, winter, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, etc...and, then the winners from each get voted on for the big winner. I hope that all makes sense...

[Kfamr]

Yeah, the only think about seperating them like that, who knows if there will only be 1 entry for winter, 2 for Christmas, etc. If I host it i'm sure i'll figure something out.

If anyone else wants to host it, just let me know and i'll pass the duty onto you.

That's true. I thought of that, too. You could always just do it that way, and, if you have only one for winter, they win by default. No matter what, they'd still have to be voted on again in the final round. Or you could even just keep the entries in order as you receive them...kinda like a first come, first serve thing...and, separate them like that. Does that make sense? Like if you receive twenty, separate them in to four groups of five... the first five entries you receive will go in the first round, second five go in the second round, etc...hmm...It's a lot to think about.

[Kfamr]

That's what usually happens. ("First come first serve.")

[finn's mom]

That's what usually happens. ("First come first serve.")

Gotcha. I had no idea how they were usually run. That's why I'm not volunteering to do it, because I wouldn't really have a clue! I'll leave it to the experts.

[Kfamr]

Soooo.. is no one else hosting it?

[PJ's Mom]

i wanted to but I've never done it before. Can you do it and I'll help?

[vinjashira]

[Kfamr]

Ack, this sucks because I don't think i'll have time to host it. Between work, relatives visiting from Michigan, and then going to Utah shortly after they leave, my plate is pretty full right now. If someone else wants to do it, feel free. I'm very sorry.
