RE: 📷 Photochain Photography Contest 📷 Week #7 Winners of STREET SHOTS + New weekly theme

in #writing6 years ago

Congratulations to the winners! But shouldn't there be a watermarks on the contest photos? It looks like some participants just spits on the rules... 😐

Sort:  

Damnit, I accidentally overlooked it and didn't notice they didn't include the watermarks... I'll let them know to include them in the future or the won't be considered. My fault.

Just checked again to confirm and noticed that the first actually has the watermark but the second doesn't.

BTW honorable mentions don't need to have the watermark. But then again why would someone only apply for a honorable mention when they can win .

I don't think this is your fault. I just want people to follow the rules, even though this is never 100% possible, so I just did what I could in this particular situation🙃

It is because if I noticed it someone else would be 2nd. Tell me about it. Been trying to reach out to people and ask them to include it since the contest started...

I think it could happen because of the tag itself. Maybe people think that this is not contest tag. For example @dabeckster just put this tag in latest posts and it looks like it is there not for contest purposes

Yeah, I'll make sure to add better clarification for that in the future.

I got second place. I'm not spitting on the rules. I didn't actually enter this contest, i just used the photochaincommunity tag. I didn't realise that would enter me into a contest. I think this needs clarification. I thought I was participating in a photography community, not explicitly entering a competition (which I have done before and I did use the photochain watermark in those instances).

And your photo is really worth it. As for the situation... well, we are faced with some hash-tagging misunderstandings. I didn't actually thought that someone could interpret photochain tag as a community tad. The thing is in the origins of this hashtag and as far as I know this tag is dedicated straight to the pohotochain contest.

@revo it's ok, I didn't think that you deliberately didn't include the link or something. Missunderstandings happen. Will make better clarification for this in the future. But yes, as @arseniuk said the tag is specifically made by me for the contest purposes.

I'm happy for you to take me out of the places for this one. I didn't even know I was entering, so I probably shouldn't get a prize.. :)

Na, it's ok. I really enjoyed your picture we just had a little missunderstanding with it but I'm not going to change the winners now when it's already decided
