Thank you!

I can see a potential difficulty here, in that someone might decide the thread is TL/DR and preferentially vote for early entries that require less scrolling. Unless these will be presented differently once the voting begins?

Me and trh_blue thought about that and decided the way to fix that would be to pick the 10 best photos and people vote for those photos. But I was thinking of changing it to 25?
what do you think.

25 would give us a wider selection without being too long. More than that might start to feel too long.

Please pick a wide variety of photos, to account for different tastes. E.g. plant, animal, more abstract, less abstract, solo headshots of birds vs creatures surrounded by the environment, which creates perhaps interesting patterns.

That is the plan

No we do not accept photos with watermarks, and I do not know what you mean by

I think

meant “if you do accept watermarked photos, would you still prefer ones that aren’t watermarked?”

If we post photos now but take better ones later on, can we change our entries as long as we do it before the deadline?

Got it. Thanks!

Yeah, I phrased that a little weirdly - I meant are ones without watermarks the ones allowed. Not sure why I said encouraged, that implies it’s not a rule

That is fine as long as you make sure to delete you first entries.
