    Could be - I'm finding that a month is a long time

    Yes that was my reasoning for the suggestion. Even us old farts are developing short attention spans... 😉

    Or 15 days, twice a month. Would perhaps be ideal.

    Or 14 days. Then it could start / finish on the same day each fortnight - easier to follow...

    Changed to Photo of the Week (PotW) for now.

    My 2c

    reasoning on a >running forum< It should be a fresh pic, say max 15 days old.

    There is no real idea to say "Of The Week" if everybody participates with a 6-month-old photo.

    If you think the Name is the issue...
    You may change that to "weekly competition" and everybody will post the same old pics on and on....
    ....for 52 weeks per year.

    ( it looks stale to me )

    I think this condition could reduce the number of participants and the quality of the photos. I just want to see good photos, I don't care if they're a week old, a year old or ten years old.
    If I take part, I guarantee it won't be with photos I've already published on Dprevived.

    I'm not restricting it to pictures taken in the last 'x' days. I did a talk the other night on cameras back to the beginning of digital and I showed off some pictures I took in the intervening years - all of them framed at least A2 and some bigger. People didn't know (or care) what they were taken on...

    So, post away, old or new - just so long as they haven't been winners before.

    Then change the name to "Weekly Competition"

    It would be good if in this winner announcement post in addition to picture is also link to competition thread, then it will be easier to find the competition if someone is interested in such retrospective.

    Good idea. I'll see what I can do.

    For now, I've added a link in the landing site - have a look here: download.dprevived.com/comp.html

    Going forward, I'll also add the link to each of the winner threads as well as the landing site. Will that do?

    Thanks, that’s good enough for me!

    Slight change to the rules.

    We are going to have a poll for 2 days (Saturday and Sunday) to find the winner of the weekly competition. You can like pictures, but it won't count.

    So, post Pictures from Sunday to Friday. Vote at the weekend. Let's see how that works.

    Cheers
