Someone asked me a question about the calendar.


My thoughts are that the winner will get a free one. I've not yet decided on where I want them printed but I'm leaning towards mpix, since their printing is so nice.

The calendar will be available for anyone to purchase if they wish. I can do it "at cost" or a couple of dollars over cost, and have that extra be donated here (just an idea I've been toying with). I will talk to the judges and iron that out with them.

I had my first attempt at a SMWYG in the 2009 competition, amazingly - even to me, I had one photo that won an end of month competition, and into the finals...but I lost. Maybe in the overall competition, sure, but personally to me, I really won out. I only stumbled upon the thread, and started contributing...the competition got better and better, and rather than opting out of entering, I pushed myself to take some better photos. Sure, a lot of times you need to be at the right place at the right time, but you still have to take that photograph. It would be absolutely fantastic for this competition to restart up, and to get some great photos out there again...

The LMSYS thread was created by us minions who were addicted to the SMWYG thread to keep us on our toes ready for the up-coming competition....It can only get better :)

So count me in!

My first attempt at SMWYG got me the 2008 title... I never even thought I'd win! I just looked back at the pictures from 2008 and am still floored... stunned... and honored that my image won! I didn't have much time last year to participate, but I would like to try and participate this coming year...

If the judges/Lisa are willing, I'd love to see this contest continued...

I'd like to play. :)

Also, I have no problem with paying a little extra for the calendar and having the extra money donated here. I think it's a great idea.

And a big YES to SMWYG, v3. As long as all the good photographers have intermittent PBase, Flickr, Zenfolio, and SmugMug outages. Especially if I have a good photo! :p
