So is it too late to post my entry?

EDIT: Since you aren't on right now and can't answer, I'm going to go ahead and post my entry. If it's too late I understand :D

So I'm kinda curious as to what the judges are looking for when they're judging? Is it just composition based or are they looking at technical aspects as well?

Sorry your late D:
Unless Zappy says so, but most probably he'll say no.

We look for how well the photograph was taken, how well does it correspond with the theme given, and basically does it look good or not. Among with few other aspects.

Mkay, thanks. That's pretty much how I was hoping it'd be judged. =)

lol mine sucks so badly compared to the rest :O

Ahh, you guys put in some nice entries. bobandabil's one reminds me of Romania, Poland seems really similar. xD

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

(whistles) Everyone's pictures are amazing. ^^ I'm so saving all of these. XD

 

[Bluerang1]

I could have gone out and taken a pic today. These timezone issues are confusling.

 

[Nequisan]

Yeah I agree, hehe. Ah well :) It's still fun.

 

[Iqid Loopz]

Agreed with digi. I'm saving a lot of them too. :) I kinda forgot this was a contest and was just admiring all the pics. XD; Really, great job to everyone! I'm really loving these.

More I think about it, more I agree with you. I'm saving all of these photos, they are amazing!

ALSO! I bumped this thread so I can encourage people who didn't enter to VOTE! for pieces of art photos from who did. Better to for people who entered.

Good Luck to all who entered!

 

[WonderGirl]

Aw man, I had such a beautiful picture but it's too late now! I hate myself. :( I'm voting for bobandbill by the way. Is that one person? xD

 

[Condulimassos]

I wonder when the results will be shown seeing as the semifinalists still need time for the second photo.

 

[Nequisan]

Good question :o Hope someone judges soon :P

 

[KingArmag]

Could I resize my picture?

You can't fit it on a screen.

 

[Skip Class]

Semifinalists will be released soon we just gotta finish judging the last bits and pieces

You can't fit it on a screen.

Entries for Round 1 are already finished you cannot enter anymore

 

[Captain Fabio]

If you say you are going to release the results on a date, you should stick too it, mate.

 

[Emily.]

I agree with Captain Fabio. When are we going to get the semi-finalist results? This is ridiculous. :/ We're going to end up with not enough time to take another photo or something. >_>;

 

[Condulimassos]

Exactly. Besides, the time zones can also be pretty confusing, because people in Europe are going to sleep now and won't find out about them being semifinalists until tomorrow morning, which gives them even less time to take the photos.

 

[Nequisan]

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for why they haven't been judged yet. :)

In my opinion, when you take on the responsibility of being an event organizer, you should stick to your dates and what you have said.

Unless there is an personal emergency, then I can understand, but the responsibility should be passed onto a back up organizer.

Like most people have said, the timezone differences between contestants is a huge problem and when you give a date in which you are going to post the results, it should be stuck to.

All in all, a days extension should be given to all semi-finalists to allow for the organizers miscalculation and mistake. Personally, I don't think it takes 2 to 3 days to decide which 6 should be allowed through. Sure, there are great photos, but it doesn't take that long. 1 to 2 hours at the most, surely, and trust me, I have judged photo contests before and it doesn't take this long.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[Nequisan]

Alright, I trust you.. it isn't me telling them to stay away you know :D I was just saying I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. If there's not, well.. I'm sure I will be a little upset also. But at the end of the day, I can just wait it out, it's just a bit of fun :)
