Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted March 13, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted March 13, 2007 Would you enter a contest via mail? or post pictures? Trying to see if more people would mail thier entry in to be judged or if they would rather post pictures of the entry....

pepin1948 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 I would enter no matter what. I'd rather the pics be judged "in person", since it's sometimes hard to get good enough pictures. Quote
Ambassador abn Posted March 13, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted March 13, 2007 I understand the benefits of actually seeing a leather product in person, but I guess I'd always envisioned a show taking place entirely online. Competitors would post the best pictures possible, and the members would vote via polls for the winners. Otherwise, how would we get good judges? Ideally, a judge should be very knowledgeable in the field they're judging. Take me, for example. I could take a look at a carving and tell you which one appeals most to me aesthetically, but I'd have a hard time awarding points based on technique or relative complexity of the piece. Just don't have that kind of knowledge.... Quote

Members Oscar B Posted March 18, 2007 Members Report Posted March 18, 2007 I would also like to enter the contest. Quote Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted March 18, 2007 Author Contributing Member Report Posted March 18, 2007 The question I am asking here is if the what type would you rather enter, mail in your item, or submit pictures?

I'd say pictures. I don't necessarily trust the post office or ups while handling entries. But then again, I don't necessarily trust my picture taking abilities either. But If we do send them in, would the items be then sent to each judge? I am all for posting pictures and voting via a poll. I am not sure if I agree with having an anything goes competition, it is hard for people to judge a belt that is competing against a motorcycle seat on an equal plane. Why doesnt the contest commttee pick a subject and the members vote. Just my $0.02. Quote Shawn Zoladz (The Major) dba Major Productions Everything Leather Saddles and Shoes Excluded You can lead me.

Contributing Member Regis Posted March 19, 2007 Contributing Member Report Posted March 19, 2007 If using online pictures, then I'd suggest having top 3 or 4 entries sent to judges (validation of WYSIWYG) prior to final announcement. That will assure that better photography doesn't edge out better leatherwork. Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)
Members Dan Hammons Posted April 15, 2007 Members Report Posted April 15, 2007 You can count me in no matter how the judgeing is done. I'm flexable s gumby when it comes to that.
