@flapping_bird, me any time for formatting assistance or any other bits you need help with about the competition and I'll be glad to oblige.
The point is to keep it fun for everyone and that includes yourself.

That said, if I ever win, I want the prize rollover for the next winner. Participation is enough for me.





As for categories, you're spot on with 

Quote:

broad enough to encourage participation yet constrained enough to not produce categories with only one entry per category.

I was 99% certain of this bro don't worry, I would've been surprised if you gave yourself 3 votes tbh. But you helped me bring up a point I've been thinking about so thank you mate

Also the "a print to enter" and a winner taking them all is cool but that'd require more planning which might makes things harder but the idea of a prize pool is pretty cool tbh NGL.

And about the categories I was suggesting them as in 1 category per month which everyone has to follow, not a system where we vote for it all at once but just one like "macro" or something then the next month another category. And tbh prizes are excessive imo, I'd love to race for "just the honour" of winning which wound make this less serious and more casual.

@Lithop - awesome - thank you. I’m not entirely following what you’re suggesting re: categories - can you tell me more where your mind is on this?  Edit: ope, I think I got what you’re saying…like our own personal mushroom fetish pics, such as gill shots, drips, weirdos, etc.??

The challenge with the multipliers kind of thing would be that it would only work for prospective grows unless you just happened to take the right pic at some point in the past. So, not sure about that one, but I’m open to all ideas if we can find ways to make ‘em work.

I was also thinking a bit more about the "Monthly TBA/Special” category:  what if we were to collect ideas on that one from participants (existing and new, as they arrive/monthly), put all the ideas in a hat and randomly draw one at the first of the month? That would provide some participant involvement buy in & a bit of suspense maybe?

---

Sounds fun! In fact, having the category in general drawn from the hat would be cool I reckon. And chaotic.

Thanks for the comments, keep ‘em coming! I think we’re moving in the right direction.

Peace to you bro.
