Entering competitions?

January 6th, 2013
Hi all, when entering a competition does that use one of your 365 days or can you still upload a photo for that day as well as enter a separate photo for any competition you might like to enter?

Thanks

You have to use a photo from your album, which is why it is handy to have ace membership and two albums!

That will use one of your 365 days, unless you upgrade to an Ace account with the extra albums.

you can allways delete the photo in your album once you have submitted it and it will stay with the thread ... choose a date pre 2013 so you can still post on your album.

@markjohnstone Most submissions rely on using a given tag, so if you delete your photo, it won't be included even if you had previously posted it to any thread. Ace memberships are worth it for a lot of reasons and having extra photos to post is just one of them.

@archaeofrog I stand corrected :-D but you can allways delete your entry at a much later date once the thread has run its course.
But I do agree ace membership does have its benafits ...

Just post it to an older date, no need to delete it. It will be picked up by the tags.

@jodeewatts Hi Jodee. Some folk use the 'competition shot' as their shot of the day, some do it as an extra and might dedicate a folder to 'competitions/themes/extras' - it's entirely up to you. You have to actually take the shot within the timescale specified but that doesn't mean you have to post it for the day it was taken - so yes technically someone could post it on an earlier date or a day or two later (although the system doesn't run too many days ahead of 'today'). Hope that makes sense! It's great to get involved with competitions and themes so enjoy!

@aimchanfighting I entered the weekly theme roadscapes last week and used it as one of my daily pictures. It helps to have something to strive for during the week and not try and always find a shot. I uploaded and tagged "theme-roadscapes", it is automatically in with 301 other entries for this weeks theme.

Hi all, thanks so much for your replies, this is fabulous information. I have now paid for the ace membership, silly me thought it was 19.95 per month rather than for the year as it is, lol.

I look foward to seeing your photos and chatting again!

Cheers :)

@aimchanfighting when you load your album on the right is a spot for tags. you put the word category in there for what ever challenge you are working on,. if you look at the browser tab on top of the site there will be a browse by tag link...look there to see what people use for tags. hope that helps
