 Resident Slayer   | June Photo Contest: Discussion Well we have some leftover ideas for next month's contest, but I'd like to contribute a new idea that popped into my head while reading the UFOs thread... Pictures of *faked* UFOs or other "unexplained" phenomena. You must have taken it yourself, and have staged it (or had a friend or someone you know stage it), so that it is known to be faked. This means that Turtle can't submit his actual photos of Sasquatch, but he can submit photos of Racoon in a Sasquatch outfit (and it would be interesting to compare the two!  ).We might want to do this for July so that people have some time to prepare their gizmos....

 Medicinal Chemist | June Super-Contest Edit: I merged the two discussion threads, so the discussion from mine starts here. All new posts will continue as normal. Since I finally got the May Photo Contest results up, it's time to start thinking about the next one. We decided that it would be good to do an extended contest. I hesitate to call it a "Summer Contest", since it's not summer everywhere in the world right now. So I'm thinking of a contest that would run from now (June) through the end of August. Suggetions for themes? ---------------- Moderator -- Chemistry, Biology, Watercooler, Competitions, Architecture. Last edited by Mercedes Benzene; 06-12-2007 at 11:57 AM. | |

 Wedding Planner  Sponsor | Re: Next Photo Contest I guess this kind of parralels Buffy's "June Contest Ideas" thread, but more appropriate if we are to have an extended contest (which sounds good to me). Brainstorming for themes: Ecology (this differs from the broader "Nature" theme as it involves interaction(s) between two or more living beings) Flowers Water Reactions (could range from Chemistry to facial expressions) Harnessing Nature (eg. hydroelectric dams, fire, etc.) Famous Places It might be a good idea to consider multiple themes to encourage a larger portion of Hypo to participate. They could be related or completely different.  ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.

| Medicinal Chemist | Re: Next Photo Contest I completely missed Buffy's thread.  I do not think it would be a good idea to have multiple topics for one contest. It takes away from the focus. As for encouraging more people to participate.... that's what the increased length hopes to achieve. ---------------- Moderator -- Chemistry, Biology, Watercooler, Competitions, Architecture. | |
