. no leeway on the submission dates, bearing in mind the need to finish films and get them processed and scanned?
Personally, I think it's important to be firm on dates.
Letting things slip is often part of the problem IMO.

I think there is one issue that needs to be written down.
Voting and points award.
1.Who will be able to vote all members. Yes
2.How many many votes will each voter have, 1,2,3,4 or 5. as there are five places perhaps it should be five votes
3. If there are tied entries how will the points be distributed. (we could have a situation where six entries tie for fifth place or two winners and three joint seconds as an example).
Any views on this.
I decided to leave the number of votes at three, because I'm not certain how many people will actually enter yet... I think you need a lot of regular entries per month to make five votes a good idea. Don't want to vote for your favourite five when there are only six entries!
I was just going to award the same points to everyone who tied in the event of a tie. Say two people tie for second place, then the points would be 1st - 10, 2nd - 8, 2nd - 8, 4th - 4, 5th - 2. Or if three people tied for fifth place then it would be 1st - 10, 2nd - 8, 3rd - 6, 4th - 4, 5th - 2, 5th - 2, 5th - 2. I can't see any other way of doing it really, unless you have an idea?
This looks interesting [emoji106][emoji106]
Apart from kudos and prestige, is there a prize, because Brucie did say......"What do points make?"
That said the kudos, prestige and personal challenge are prize enough!
Any issues with sharing a picture before submitting it? The POTY complaint was usually thus, tbh I'm not sure I care either way but probably better to clear it.
it was one of the more controversial rules and the one that caused the most fights in the previous poty incarnations, largely around anonymity which doesn't really apply here but I thought I'd check.Doesn't bother me tbh although I'm curious as to why you need to " clear it"

Does anyone mind if I enter this as well? Initially I hadn't planned to (hence why I wanted to organise it and stay involved), but I think I'd like to try and dust off the camera for a few entries. The themes were group selected and it's all peer voting so I can't see an issue, but it's best to check!

^^^WHS^^^ I always assumed you'd enter too.Allright by me Carl, in fact I hadn't considered that you wouldn't enter, crack on young man
The not been seen before rule was a pain. It's so much easier to dump all photos onto flickr then link to them.
Only if you promise not to win all the rounds

As everyone else, I assumed you'd be entering. We need the numbers any way
You might be the only one organised enough to enter by the deadline if it's to be hard and fast!!! Go for it.
There is no rule that the shot can|cannot be altered in Photoshop?.....I'm going to attempt to "join" some of my firework shots into one ....I'm not an expert so
Is there an entries thread for this for January BTW? I've got a couple of potential candidates and, although I'll wait until later in the month in case I get something better, just wondered where to post my entry?
Ta.

There is yes, it's just slipped down the page because no one's entered yet

There's no rules no Brian, it's up to you how much you want to edit photos. Don't forget that it's peer voting though and everyone might have different views on editing film photos.

Great to hear you're now gainfully employed/Sorry to hear you're now gainfully employed.only sorry it's likely to be my sole contribution to the months thread
Been some developments in my lifestyle, and i've now (huck, spit...) got a "day job" instead of being a layabout* like i've managed for the past 13 years...
* well - that's what all my jealous mates used to call my freelance/self employed lifestyle...
