Poll - Special Rule For A Future Photo Contest

Post by WLH » Sun Feb 05, 2017 10:24 pm

I've had a number of PM exchanges with srhutch concerning the possibility of have a modification to the Photo Contest rules in a future month to allow contest pictures to be entered that DO NOT contain a picture of your own car.

I know I have taken pictures at events that contain cars other than mine and believed they were quite good pictures but could not enter them since the picture did not contain my Zed.

So, if you would like to see the rules change for a near future monthly contest cast your vote for or against above. Your picture would still require that the Zed in the picture was that of another forum member. All other forum rules for the monthy contest would apply.

Also please indicate what month this spring or summer you would like to see such a contest take place. Other comment and suggestions welcome.

Just to be clear this would be a one time event or at the most maybe once a year.
You would be allowed to post a picture in the contest as an example like this one.

Just voted in favour of doing it once in the year.

There must be loads of photos people have taken that look great but have other Zs in them so would otherwise be ineligible (like the one you posted WLH).

Maybe the month after ZedFest would be a good time?

Agree with Marlon, I've noticed he's very good at taking pics so I'm going to commission him to take some of mine :D

So if we do this then the September contest would be the month for pictures other than your own Zed... :camera:

I like it, good idea. Bet there are some lovely zed pictures out there of other people's cars. I think I've even got a few.

No can't be hidden. That feature went away with recent upgrades.... :(

The poll is now closed and 77% of you voted for a "special contest" in September. So plan on taking and saving a picture that contains Z's other than your for September. All other rules will apply. You must take the picture yourself and there can only be Z 4's in the picture. I believe this contest could lead to a very excellent picture for the calendar. Anyway we will try this in September and see how it works out.
