Yes but I've not uploaded it to Flickr yet. Bear with me...Did you get a photo of the Top Hat event by any chance?
Damn, the first theme is Little and Large... and it turns out it's Cannon and Ball in panto at the local theatre this Christmas! Typical!

Would have made a good entry for WASTE
Now that we're in the final month of the 2018 competition I think it's time to sticky the rules and themes for the 2019 competition. @TheBigYin Can you do the honours please?

Hey, stop trying to spoil our fun... It is Christmas after all!done - do you want the thread locking so people can't go in there and moan/bitch/whine about them ??
Yes please! They can moan/bitch/whine in this thread!done - do you want the thread locking so people can't go in there and moan/bitch/whine about them ??
Yes please! They can moan/bitch/whine in this thread!
Do we need to sign up for this or just take part next year ?
I certainly just joined in half way through this year; I don't think there is any 'sign up' you just post a picture in the relevant months entry.
Votes
The number of votes that each user is able to use is equal to one third of the number of entries, rounded down. For example, 14 entries means 4 votes, 18 entries means 6 votes, and 23 entries means 7 votes.
I have a question...
Will the number of votes be worked out for those of us who are mathmatically inept? I'd hate to cast too many votes inadvertantly.
I don't think it can be done. The only voting options are single vote, unlimited votes or up to a maximum number. I can't see a way to force someone to actually use all their votes when maximum is selected.Talking of voting, is there some way of making sure the requisite number of entries are voted for before the vote can be submitted? If so, do people think that might enhance the 'spirit of the competition'?
Perhaps a question for @Marcel @TheBigYin and/or @Cobra?I don't think it can be done. The only voting options are single vote, unlimited votes or up to a maximum number. I can't see a way to force someone to actually use all their votes when maximum is selected.
On a different note, I've just peeked into the Photos from Film subforum for the first time for months. It doesn't look like many of us visit there regularly. I was wondering if it would be in the spirit of TP to have the entries thread (actual photos from film) in there, with the discussion thread here? That might cause more of us to look in there more regularly...
Or perhaps put the top 3 each month in the Photos from Film subforum, with a link to the competition entries thread (leaving the entries thread in the F&C section)?On a different note, I've just peeked into the Photos from Film subforum for the first time for months.

This could be done for the last 12 moths too (if someone with more spare time than I've got could take the task on?), it might create a bit more interest in film photography (and the competition) if we did that? What do people think?
No problem, didn't realise it was a crit section, thought of it more as a gallery. Shows how much I look at it!
Talk Film & Conventional is unique (I was going to say unusual, but, well ...) in that the mods allow a lot of photos to be posted, in other "Talk" threads posting a lot of photos is usually frowned upon. The general guidance seems to be that all "Photos" sub-forums are for crit with the exception of Photos for Pleasure, I assume that the proper sub-forum would be Competitions, Community Challenges and Inspiration but if it aint broke, don't fix it
