2. There doesn’t seem to be much direct communication with farktographers and photoshoppers, at least not on the scale that I think this warrants.

I’ve tried to increase that communication. This link

will take TF’ers to the FPAEF discussion held about 18 days ago. Search for “schnee” to find the thread.

There seemed to be a bunch of support from the ‘shoppers and they were invited to come join this thread in this here forum.

I hear what you are saying with respect to “greenlight-on-demand” – I’ve wondered about that as well. At the beginning of March, I submitted a photoshop contest thread with a “Photoshop the winner of a Farktography context” headline which went absolutely nowhere. We’ll probably need mod help with the greenlighting.

I also hear what you are saying about photogs who don’t want their art ‘shopped. I think that could be handled by making it clear that “this” particular contest is the cross-over contest and by participating in “this” contest, the photog is giving consent for ‘shopping.

Making this a “Very Special Farktography Contest” outside of the weeklies is a good idea.
