Lets Promote the Contest
For all of you that are out there on other forums and are mass posters ... lets try to start promoting our contest. Id like to give away a lot more money than we currently are and id like to see much more participation in the contest. For those of you that are out there on other photoshop forums lets start promoting the contest section of the site. Please do not infringe on other forum rules. Make sure it is okay first before doing so. But maybe just a simple text link in your signature would work. If your more into an explanation then make a thread about the site and the contest. It all helps.
We are on the uprise here. We have been featured in Performance Auto and Sound three months in a row. You are all getting recognition in a national magazine. Lets start pumping up the site again.
Thanks to all who are onboard.

I have noticed contest participation waning significantly, which is mainly why I entered this month. Im thinking incentive is a big factor. You mentioned giving money away and prizes, which is definately a strong motivator but im not so sure thats as important to most as recognition is. Monetary rewards can also be a detriment not only so much from a standpoint of generating the cash and/or prizes but also if they are not consistant with every contest.
Another words you essentially create the "if nothing is up for grabs, why enter" situation.
I suggest developing better recognition rewards.
Heres a couple of ideas off the top of my head.
1. A thumbnail/link and blurb on the home page for contest winners.
2. a special icon (like a trophy or something) that is displayed in the winners posts like the yearly awards.
3. Maybe develop a sticker, t-shirt, cap or whatever for PSC and give them away to winners.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I like that. Normally i enter because i want the challenge but im also having the problem that chops with several problems are getting more votes than creative, well executed chops. My favcorite idea is the trophy thing. Id love to see people w/o trophies work themselves to become better for that recognition.

ye, i could promote the contests on a coupla other forums.
as for the prizes, lets make the good old pcn for an example.
they gave prizes each contests, and they always had the best choppers overthere, and i mean the best! and for the last coupla rounds, there are no prizes specified, nowhere mentioned, and the number of entries decreased dramatically. the number aint important as much as the quality of the chops is. and that factor decreased aswell. its sad imo. i chop for my pleasure, being so much into cars, especially tuning. you wont see any extreme chops from me tho. im more of a performance kinda guy. chopping aint a competition for me, lol, i always like a challenge but i enter the comps very rarely.
p.s. just for the info, how much money are we talking about here?

^ haha, yeah I was hoping someone would respond to that one.
I would have myself but have this sneaking feeling that the"BadA$$" may be laying a trap. He is overdue on banning's and I didnt want to test the waters if you know what I mean?
Whats his quota up to now, 2-3 a month?

This is a good discussion...
You will all be glad to know that the admins have been discussing the contest/forum/awards/ranks/battle system/etc etc over the last few months and we hope to implement a few things to make more friendly competition and purpose and fun to this site.
No teaser specifics to provide at the moment but keep providing your suggestions.
Thanks

As you probably already know, I am in Graphic design at the high school, and, I am in a class called graphic design. I have this class every other day. I am trying to get poeple in my class, and other classes to make accounts on here and post their entries! But so far, everyone is being a chicken ****, and doesnt want to post until they get REALLY good at it. But, for me, I need a really long deadline, because I dont have much time to work on chops! But, I will try hard to get people to participate!
