Tim - I am getting tired of this - nothing personal at all - I was just trying to add to the debate on getting a simpler Comp and one which more entrants would be attracted to.

Stefan !!!!! I have just posted to the original thread on this and now discovered this one> Why start a new topic to confuse everyone - they wo't know the history.

IMHO there is merit in several of these ideas but I think the judging thing is still too complicated. Why not have a straight voting approach but with an alternative vote system so everyone can vote for their No1 and No2 with the possibility of a comments box say limited to 25 words. It would take a bit of software tweaking.
But whatever the (simplified) format the main thing is to Promote the Comp more so more people are aware of it.

Doug,
A very good point. Hadn't seen that - the weekly could just be a a self fulfilling prophecy (exc spelling).

Gwyn - you have just proven my point - people don't enter because the consequences of winning are in fact a put off..................

Err - I think people are misunderstanding the term Inclusive.
Also Tony I agree with everything you say about why we are involved in photography and this Forum.(Except you need to read Tim's post above re 'blagging off')
My point is that Comp formats should make it easyfor many people to enter, and my query was whether the current structures do that?

Glad you raised the issue again. It would be good if the Forum gave more/reasoned consideration to comp format (& I don't necessarily mean EXTRA Comps), instead of just blagging off those who don't currrently enter.
There were some suggestion brought up in this thread that were not developed and which might make participation more INCLUSIVE. After all even John R used the word 'niche' (could be interpreted as cliquish).

Agree with Gwyn re 'prize' there have been a couple of occaisions when I would have put something up for the Weekly Comp, but realised, if by fluke I had won, I wouldn't be around to get the judgement out on Sunday.

Totally agree with John - I take mine everywhere. Good value, light and easy to use. (If you wanted even more reach I don't know whether it would work well with a TC - probably loose too much light?)
But a very worthwhile lense.
