I like this idea. The 2 weeks vs. 4 weeks doesn't matter as much to me, but I mainly like this idea because there is always a contest running. I don't have time to get out and shoot very often, and I hate how it seems that every time I am available, it is during a voting period with no contest running (like the past few days).

I would honestly rather have them turn over quicker. Like maybe a week to shoot and three days to vote. That way you keep the momentum up a little more and give more people the chance to participate/win.

Regardless of length (I think I like the current format), people tend to wait until the end of the contest to post. As a result, the MPC tends to drift down off the new posts page and maybe fewer casual participants see it. So I don't know if having a longer open period would necessarily help. The Photo/Video forum in general is pretty stale, which I think is the main source of the lack of participation.

I think you're all taking these "contests" a little too seriously.

stoked to make a final cut!
Thanks for the positive comments. I instantly had a vision of a chain & gear when I read the contest title; I've been super slacking taking photos recently and was very happy to finally get some inspiration.
As for the contest format discussion I think an entire month is too long, also in favor of revisiting older theme's. They started before I owned a camera and knew Teton gravity had this interesting interweb place.

Con grats to supermodel159 Looking forward to a month, hope to score a good capture.
BTW I voted for smmokan as I have been in the same spot and it made me chuckle. [I haven't seen a poopghost injury thread]www.apriliaforum.com

A month is wack. They already drag on too long as it is, which is why I became bored with them. Having a few going staggered at the same time as mentioned on the last page is a great idea if they are going to stagnate that long.

The worst part about entering the contest is that you might win. The happy feeling in your pants is cool and all but the harsh cold reality of putting up another MPC looms large. Keeping all 47 Photo/Video peanut gallery fanboys motivated and happy throughout is near impossible. Not enough entries and you had a boring topic or posted to tight a deadline for busy photogs with kids, to many entries and you selected the wrong pictures for the final.
I say winners take the liberty to do whatever they want with 'their' contest. Longer or shorter. Midget shoots. IPA prizes. Whatever. Attendance will rise and fall. People will bitch or hail props. It will be what it is.

7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

Yeah, I don't think not posting one does anyone any good regardless of your opinion on the length argument.

We're funny because we would rather a topic get posted before the weekend? Yeah, laugh riot.
I just don't get it. You wanted to extend it to a month but then give it a break between topics. That doesn't make much sense.Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
