Hey titus, why not a different subject? Sump/fuge is pretty weird.. I mean how do you get a nice artistic shot of a sump? Unless it's a very impressive set up, I don't see it being a hugely popular photo contest topic. :confused: [img]smile.gif[/img]

How about we do something like best coral pic... that will get tons of entries.. :D

Hello,

Obviously if you guys have nice photos then it's better. Afterall, the sponsors will have more incentives to actually sponsor something that looks good, right? The contest isn't limited to sump. It's all goes.

As for Pocilipora, I'm sorry about the situation but it's beyond my control. I attempted to find out why with Dave but he told me things are fine. So......

But what do you mean it isn't limited to the sump. This was the description for the contest: "Take the best sump shot you can".

I just got my camera and I've been meaning to enter but I don't have a sump. I was going to post a message exactly the same as what One Divided said. I didn't really think sump photos are very interesting either and since I don't have a sump, I was waiting for the March contest to be over so that I can participate in the new April contest.

My impression with some sponsors giving gift certificates as prizes is that it is intended simply to get a bigger sale. For example, gift certificates are given away so that the winner can use it to buy a bigger ticket item. However, some people simply want to redeem the certificate without buying bigger items so they redeem the certificate for stuff that is worth the same amount as the certificates. Thus the sponsor loses money instead of making money from the winner and there is no incentive to send the products to the winner in that case.

Some people will say I'm dead wrong here but this is the impression that I get and I might not be alone.

Hello,

Sorry guys my mistake. I now remember. The March contest started with everything goes but then no one entered the contest. Then someone came along suggesting photo of sumps. So that's why.... Sorry, there's too many things going on in this world and I forgot what happened.

With regards to the sponsorship, I'm not even going to speculate at anything. It's a terrible economy as far as I'm concerned. Some manufacturer's president and vp told me verbally that they'll do an ad banner but it's ended up simply as talk. As simple as that. My thinking is that the contest should be entered as purely for the joy of sharing. Who cares whether there are actual prizes anyway. I do agree, however, that people are not living up to the promises.
