Pixey Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know everyone must be terribly busy at this time of the year - but I'm hoping for more entries for the Christmas Garland Competition. Or ............... it can be delayed for a week, if enough members ask ....... I await your responses Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

lynxster4 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 My opinion is, don't let it die a slow death (kill it now). I know people are busy, etc...but, even I found this challenging (and it was my idea!) Unless someone is currently working on a submission and needs a couple/few extra days, I say stick to the deadline and let's move on.

MJW Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Too bad there weren't more entries. All three entries are wonderful. Maybe they were too good: a bit intimidating. I wish I'd had more time lately. This is the kind of SOTW theme that I really like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toe_head2001 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Is there any special reason the poll for 'Valentine’s Day' is open for two weeks, rather than the normal one week? I'm not necessarily saying two weeks is bad; I'm just curious as to why. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

I'm not necessarily saying two weeks is bad; I'm just curious as to why. If you go back to Page 76 in this Discussions Thread - June 16, 2017 - this is when it was decided, due to dwindling entries, to make it a fortnight.

I think the question ("Is there any special reason the poll for 'Valentine’s Day' is open for two weeks, rather than the normal one week?") assumes an incorrect premise that the normal SOTW entry period is one week. As Pixey mentioned, around the middle of last year it was changed to two weeks, in order to attract more entries. All the contests since then have lasted two weeks. Even before it was officially changed, the entry period period was often -- more often than not, I believe -- extended when there were too few entries. EDIT: Obviously I need a course in reading comprehension. I skipped right over the word "poll." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxster4 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Oops, my bad. I incorrectly assumed the poll was also open for two weeks...(I never checked ...never assume...) All fixed now. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks, @toe_head2001 for pointing that out!

MJW Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Oh, I see what the confusion was! I should have read the original comment more carefully (the story of my life). Two weeks would certainly be too long to keep the poll open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 My fault sorry. What a difference one word makes . It's official ..... I had a blonde/senior moment when reading Toey's post.

Woodsy Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I have removed my entry for this weeks competition for personal reasons. Thank you to those of you that voted for it. Hopefully you'll understand. 1 Quote My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I noticed about half the entries in the current poll were broken postimg.org images, so I've fixed them.

lynxster4 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi @Seerose Go back to my comp posting. There are three (3) links that will help you. The theme is taking an image and making it look like a tiny miniature toy set if done properly.

doughty Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'm missing something. If didn't use up all my votes in past comps, I use to be able to go back and vote again. Is that possible now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
