I am updating the site to run with MySQL and also adding an Admin Section for veruca. It’s close to being done. 🙂

Just thought I’d add a link to a recent worth1000.com photoshop contest. Their “Out Of Bounds” theme is always amazing.

what is this worth1000 that people are comparing it to?

Worth1000.com is mostly known for their Photoshop contests. Absolutely amazing stuff. It far surpasses what you’ll see in Fark Photoshops.

Worth1000 also has photography contests as well, altho I’ve never really followed them.

Photoshopcontest.com is another amazing Photoshop contest site if anyone is interested.

I agree with Curious‘s comment about how a new contest site could suffer from being too complicated and have too many rules.

I do know that the popularity of Farktography is due to that anyone can enter. I’ve seen people with really amazing photos enter knowing that they won’t get many votes because they have entered late. While it’s great to see them do so, I also think it’s a shame they don’t get the attention that early posters get.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of a new contest site that would remain fun without being overly complicated or technical, or worth1000 like, but also offer some rewards. Some of you may have noticed that the rules for Farktography are quite similar to worth1000’s photography rules. I did borrow alot of the rules from there and modified them somewhat.

I’ll kick the idea of a new contest site around. It’ll be a big project so I’d really have to be pretty sure about it to invest all the time I’d need to put into it. If anyone cares to add any thoughts to this, feel free to email me at digitalpix at gmail.

How many of you would be interested in a new photography contest site? There would be a submission deadline, noone sees submissions until the deadline, and then there would be a defined voting period. Also a comment section for each individual submission without having to search the entire thread for them.

I’d like to also include a way for votes collected to be used in “purchasing” various items, like flash cards or the like. I would need to work out the way to make sure that there isn’t vote abuse and verify that submitters are the actual photographers/copyright holders of the images submitted.

Let me know what everyone thinks. I’m open to all suggestions.

Thanks,

Hiya GalleyWench, thanks for the !!’s. 🙂

I know this is kinda late for this, but I just now registered for this forum. I should have the orignal PSD file for the Farktography logo if anyone would like to have it or need it.
