June 2010 Photo & Caption Comments Thread

When you win, a PM to one of the moderators with your theme choice is good.

Huh? We've been doing that. That's what causing the problem. Someone wins, but doesn't log in or choose a theme for 2 or three weeks so the contest ends up starting in the middle of the month instead of the beginning.

We need a schedule. Specific days for starting the entry thread, and specific period of voting that allows a few days to get a new theme before the next month begins. If we want to catch up, skip July. If the winner doesn't pick a theme by the 1st, we start the contest anyway, using an alternative theme somehow.

Something needs to be done. It's the middle of July and we are still voting on June? We should already have entries for July starting two weeks ago.

I still think it might be refreshing to have a "no-theme" as the default alternative if the winner doesn't come up with one. It's simple and would allow people to show off pictures that probably wouldn't ever get to compete otherwise.

I agree. Could lead to some good creativity too.

[Hollis_Steed]

I like that idea!

[drache]

yes, I like it too

[adamanteus]

Excellent, that's decided then.
So let's let the voting run until the end of July, then start afresh in August.

[ConcinusMan]

Agreed!

[mustang]

i agree set scheduals and also the no theam theam if one is not appointed!

[ConcinusMan]

I take it we're going to skip July and start August off on time? Polls are still open for June.

@ mtolypetsupply: better start thinking about theme. You know, just in case you win.

I think you might have a slight chance.

[Stefan-A]

Well, I could even out the odds a bit.
