[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 497233, member: 16749"] I like having both the monthly and weekly challenges as we have them. If I could change anything, there are only two things I'd change. [list][*]I wish the monthly challenge themes were more often announced before the month actually begins. It really seems that we should have the entire month to work on it, but we cannot start until we know what the theme is. The challenge always closes at the end of the month (UTC), just as it should. I think it's good that the weekly challenge is consistently announced a few days before it actually opens, and I wish the monthly challenge did likewise. [*]I wish the challenges were judged in a manner that I thought more impartial. That's a rather tricky thing, I guess. As I understand it, both the weekly and monthly challenges are “voted” on in a manner that is likely to predominantly be done by those of us who are participating in the challenge. As a matter of practice, I rarely “Like” anything in the challenges; I want to win, so I'm not going to vote for my competitors; and it feels inappropriately self-serving to vote for my own entry. I wonder if there's any way we could attract the attention, to the challenge threads, of large numbers of people who are not participating (and perhaps not even regular members of the forum as a whole), to vote on the challenges, who would have no motive other than their honest, unbiased opinions of the merits of the images themselves.[/list] [/QUOTE]
