I like the 4 entries idea but I don’t think it should be a requirement since it would be an unfriendly surprise for a lot of people.
I think a note about an optional allowable 4th entry (for this contest only) to complete the set would be fine. A requirement, though? No.

I’m leaning more this way the more I’m thinking about it. It’d stink if someone had 3 solid entries and got them dq’d because they didn’t know an optional fourth was allowed.
I agree. It would be better to be optional.
Yeah, I don’t think I’d want to be the person to sit there and count 3 (or 4) entries per person x 50+ posters in a contest, not to mention making sure that none of them are ‘R’s.
Besides, I think the only contest we’ve ever required a set number of pictures was Take Three, and those were all in one post. I’d suspect even our semi-regulars would get all kinds of confused (myself included)
I also vote to keep the fourth entry optional.
So consensus sounds like it’s to allow a 4th entry for this contest, but it wouldn’t be required. But each person could have up to 4 votable entries.
Great now I *gotta* come up with something for air 😛
We did a contest of three before where all three shots went into one entry, and people only got one entry in the contest.
What if we did it the same way in this one? You get one entry. In it are as many of the 4 different elements you want to have, maximum of 4 photos. You only want to do one or two? That’s fine. Might hurt you in voting, but that’s your choice.
I could go either way on that one.
I like the 4th Element option, but I think it should be optional. A big ole caveat in the thread description saying 4th Photo Optional This Week Only or something along those lines.

This.
Agreed. Hell, maybe even put it in the thread headline.
“Photograph the classical elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Difficulty: Each entry should primarily represent a single element and each must be a different element. Up to four photos may be entered”
Like that?
I’d probably tack on “for this contest only”, but if you’re space-limited on the description, that should be good as is.
