9. I am not being contentious with YOU

Thu May 31, 2012, 06:58 PM

May 2012

I'm contentious to the max about not liking the changes and how they are affecting something I have really enjoyed: our contests.

I've won a few contests over the years just with my photos. I also volunteered, and helped out with running contests, I became pretty seasoned at it. I did not mind, I had fun doing it. That was then. This is now.
Yes, I would absolutely mind running a contest now, no matter how it came about. Even if I chose non-blind submissions which is what prompted my comments about not knowing what to do exactly.

What I was pointing out, or attempting to, is that it's all different now, like ripples of a rock in the water.

Do you have any feelings about that we don't know 27 of the entrants, ever?
Just curious.
