I love Rebecca and her process. But since we're growing why not grow the photo awards within the community and by the community. Like have community selected photo awards via votes/ratings and staff/editor's choice awards like from Rebecca and such. And not just that have specific photo awards extended from photo of the day like why not have a yearly or semi-annual thing of best of composites, or best of portraits, or best of etc...,etc..... Heck even better grand prizes given too like actual fstoppers products like the lighting or videos, etc. I'd love to participate for recognition but getting tangible prizes would be even better I'd say!
Thoughts...?
Or even a weekly challenge where we all "like" submissions. The one with the most likes, for that week, wins. The winner then posts the focus of the next week's challenge. Keeo a running tally (leaderboard) of who wins, each week, and the one with the most wins, per quarter, wins something. Give like 1 point per weekly win. Giving away prizes quarterly reduces the cost to fstoppers and gives everyone a chance to win as it is spread over a 12-week quarter.
I probably made it too complicated. Story of my life. :)
