Nikongear 10 Years -- photo competition

[Birna Rørslett]

The basic rules are all set out here:

https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=11232.0

Just let me stress that only NG members(incl. supporters) can participate.

If you want to try your luck, here is how:

1. Select a photo, taken with a camera in the period 10 June, 2015 until present
2. Pixel size should be maximum 2000 pix on the longest axis
3. File size should be 2MB or less.
4. Give the file a random name not including your name, camera, or similar information.
5. Send an email with the file attached to NG10Years@nikongear.net
6. Use your screen name ('nick') in the mail header.

Photos can be submitted from June 10th 00:01 CET until  June 20th, 2025  23:59 CET.

I will upload the contributions and set up the voting poll immediately thereafter.

NB: Any message sent to the given e-mail address not within the competition time window, or not titled with your screen name, will be deleted.

The window for submitting your entry to the competition opens at midnight!! and will be closed at midnight 20th June.

All entries will be shown anonymously numbered from #1 upwards. Do attach your screen name to the submission e-mail to allow the Admins to track the entries.

[Birna Rørslett]

Not a single submission so far? The trickle of entries has commenced - hooray

Do note that NO images will be posted and NO voting is possible until the submission period is elapsed.

This avoids any pre-selection bias .... I can see the entries, but since I neither can participate nor vote, that doesn't count !!

[Birna Rørslett]

The winner will get the "WINNER" badge instead of the usual golden 1 or 2 squares.

There will be a minimum of 1 year free subscription.

If we get 10-49 entries: 2 years free subscription
                >49 entries: 5 years

Thus, come on gals & guys. We know all of you have pictorial gems hidden away. Now is time to show it off.

[Birna Rørslett]

To answer a question: can submitted images be changed before voting opens?

Yes, just send in another image file. We will keep the latest submission by default.

[Birna Rørslett]

Another question and answer: Should EXIF data be deleted?

If you fear people are going to examine EXIF and your name is there, by all means delete EXIF. Not mandatory, though. Most viewers will look at the displayed image.

[Birna Rørslett]

Just three - 3 - more days left for submitting your photo to NG10years@nikongear.net.

Do remember to use your NG screen name in the mail header.

[Birna Rørslett]

Just two - 2 - more days left for submitting your photo to NG10years@nikongear.net.

Do remember to use your NG screen name in the mail header.  Any member can participate.

[Birna Rørslett]

Just to remind that June 20th is coming up fast and that will be the last opportunity to submit a photo for the NG 10 Years Competition!!

I do hope for a flood of fresh entries tomorrow. Any NG member can participate. No need to be a NG Supporter!

To show NG is a truly international community. i have extended the final deadline to 20 June  UTC-12. Meaning we Europeans will see the date as 21 June. However the computers should know the basic fact that this is Midnight local time on the eastern side of the International Date Line.. Have to trust the digital wizards, supposedly.

Time remaining for submitting your entry to the competition is running out -where is everyone these days?

89 supporters, 19 entries

[Birna Rørslett]

I would have expected more, yes. And we have a high number of non-supporters as well. Every one of these were invited to submit, but most didn't avail themselves of the opportunity.


Recall *any* NG member can vote.

89 supporters, 19 entries

It seems that the 2500 members incl. the supporters do not find that exciting, that theme.

Thank you Birna for this opportunity to reflect upon the last 10years images. It has proven very difficult to choose. I have asked help from friends old and new so this contest have put in motion contact with quite a few people. Thanks

  Yes it feels like rather a low number of entries, I wonder if it has been taken seriously to the point of doubt. I've been there

[Birna Rørslett]

Karl Mera: this competition didn't have a common theme.

The low attendance might reflect the general stagnation we encounter everywhere these days. Everyone retreats into their own bubble or echo chamber.

Oh well.
