Because not everyone uses PayPal.

MogulMonster: i was thinking about this last night, if we allow that it might get out of hand, i think limiting it to 1 or 2 photos per section would be better

Azraele: how crappy? i think we wee planning a DSLR, Prosumer and P&S sections

ahh morning brings clear thoughts.

i'm thinking max 1 submission per photographer per category.

3 sections. DSLR (digital rebel, d70) prosumer (f717, g5) and P&S (everything else)
film entries can be submitted under the dslr section, since they should be of similar if not better quality.

the entries will be checked to ensure a dslr user doesn't submit in the prosumer/p&s category, giving him/her an advantage.

we should have categories for price ranges of cameras (i.e. <$200, 200-500, >500) and then a overall category.

I have some concerns about the more views part. All the person would have to do is take a picture of a woman, and boom, instant winner.

Maybe we can have a system where there's 4 people judges and a 5th "virtual judge" that is the popular vote...

Yeah, we definately need separate landscape and people catagories. Sure, my landscape photos are decent, but they would get easily trownced by some hot chick in a miniskirt if ATOT members are doing the voting.

Sign me up for Point and Shoot digital section. I'll be submitting my entries later, hey, how many entries can I have? And more importantly, what do I win? Besides bragging right.

Seems like there's more than that which is left to be decided: Categories, time frame, entrants, max entries (1 per category per section or just 1 per category?), prizes, judges, etc...
