IT'S TIME TO VOTE for the photos in the VOL 3 POTN book!

Permagrin · 8th of December 2008 (Mon)

Wow, some great images submitted for Volume 3! Thanks to everyone who participated.

There were almost 1200 images submitted this year. That is 200 +/- over last year. What a great community effort for a great community project. Everyone should be proud; we are! The only down side is that we can’t publish them all. Like Volume 2, there will be approximately 312 photos in the book; so you can see that your task will be tough.

As in the previous two volumes, the image in each share with the most vote will be the signature shot and used as the introduction to the chapter. There will also be two shots that will be smaller than the signature shot but larger than the regular images.

Below are links to all the Share Polls.

Please read the first post in each poll. It will tell you the number of images to vote for in that particular share. In the larger shares you will be able to vote for 10 images, and in the smaller shares, the votes are limited to 5.
We must say it is going to be hard to narrow down the selections.

Again congratulations to those who participated and happy voting.

Just a reminder, be sure to note that the photo numbers are below the photo (which may not coincide with the gallery number...for example Still life/b&w #14 shows below the photo as 14 and next to the photo, it's 11th in the gallery)...

vote for the number below the photo

Good Luck All...

Just took a quick spin through a few of the galleries and, um, WOW...

(Should this announcement be a Supreme Sticky above all forums for at least a little while?)

Due to technical difficulties voting has been suspended for a few moments. Please be patient.

Ah that makes sense, was wondering how my password was wrong.. But can see you must've moved the threads temporarily to admin only area

And there was I, thinking my typing was being affected by extreme tiredness after 7 failed attempts!

Permagrin · 9th of December 2008 (Tue)

sorry, we're attempting to fix it asap

theague · 9th of December 2008 (Tue)

Wow, the entries are amazing. I don't think i'll be making it this year. lol

Permagrin · 9th of December 2008 (Tue)

Sorry for the Technical Difficulties. There were a couple of numbering errors we had to fix. Thank you for your patience. All is well now and votes are accurate. Unfortunately if you have already voted in Birds you will have to vote again.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
The BC
