@Thomas – Consider this my delayed reaction. :P I’ve not been checking here!

Anyway, I thought maybe I’d misread it, but the post says…

“The winner will also get to choose next months theme and choose the winner.”

Sounds like they do get to choose the winner as well.

For me it would actually be more enticing to have a followed HTML link with the text of my choosing in your sidebar. That way I could at least get a bit of an SEO boost. Most of my target market (brides in Utah) obviously don’t visit this site, so a banner on the top of the page won’t do me any good. But a link that is followed could help me bump out competition in the search engine world. Just a thought.

This is a great contest! I will love to participate!! The video contest was just to much of a time effort for me, but this shouldn’t be such a big deal to at least be part of ;)

I think if these themes are broad enough then you have the freedom to do whatever you want with in the contest. And like Lee said, I doubt many ‘pros’ are going to give these smaller contests any real time. Don’t make us make a video showing that you have to be a pro to make good photos :)

@Claudia: the winner chooses the next topic, not the next winner. The winners are always chosen by vote!

This is going to be a lot of fun, I can’t wait.

Great idea overall, but I’m not sure I agree with having the previous month’s winner choose the next month’s winner. Seems like that could potentially get unfair.

Then again, I’m kinda paranoid.

I’m definitely up for joining in, though. :P
