This is one contest that could gain a lot more attention during the summer months. With WNBR Southern/Northern hemisphere coming up and other summertime events. Hopefully nobody thinks the contest is being extended too far. Also, a thank you to everyone that has submitted content so far.
Thanks,

It is a bit long to wait, but on the other hand, the thread was not filling up too fast. I was a bit disappointed. But this could be part of a big push to get people out in the field this spring and summer. Get out in the field and win some money in the process. As event pics start coming in, though, later this spring - people will be wanting to put their pics in the relevent threads. So we will need to make an effort to insure that people know this thread is still here!
Personally, I would be interested in recruiting folks to cover various events, and I will probably use my Flickr group to keep track of friends who I know will be out there with their camera. Pre-event networking, planning etc is something that could be done either here or at Flickr, or maybe both sites. But I'd prefer it be somewhat private, so I'll probably lean towards using Flickr. But the advent of this contest has sort of coincided with the start up of my Flickr photographers group, and some sort of marriage between the two I think could benefit everyone. For example, I'd like my Flickr group members to know of this contest. And likewise, I want people submitting pics here to know of my Flickr group. A lot of Flickr photogs have never heard of OCC, and neither do they know each other very well. That is what I am trying to change, and a contest is another way to get folks to get to know one another a little. So, I am excited and am happy that this contest is taking place. In fact, I may post a message in the discussion forum of my group letting everyone know that this is happening..
thanks,
