I thought I would throw this open to members to discuss and come up with ideas for next year.
At present we are running a 4 week rotation on the Photo of the Week competition. It is setup like this
Pattern
Week #1 : OPEN (all in, experience levels not used)
Week #2 :Theme (all in, experience levels not used)
Week #3 :OPEN (using experience levels)
Week #4 :Theme (using experience evels)
with some exceptions for *special events*
And the AP admin/mod team chose the themes.
So for 2017, would you like to see the above rota(pattern) change, and if so, please make suggestions. AND feel free to come up with some theme ideas. When thinking of themes we have a couple of guidelines we use. Themes must be something all members can achieve, no matter where they live. So for example, we do not have themes like "Brisbane / Hobart / The Kimberleys" as that restricts who could enter. Themes must be something that an absolute beginner could achieve.
Other than that, over to you. Please let us know your thoughts, suggestions, ideas. Please do not be concerned about posting something right out of the square, it could well be what we are all looking for.
