Acronyms v. Abbreviations v Initials

Sorry to be the bearer of doom and gloom but I think there's going to be a lot of DNMC's. By a lot of misguided voters.

If i were to use DPC i think i would have to put "DPC Digital Photography Challenge" as my title. May hafto really spell it out for some people.

And then still get DNMC for spelling it out lol

Exactly. Plus understand that English is not the first language for many of our photogs, so what is a memorable acronym in the USA or England, may not be one in Iceland or Germany. If the photo is well done and interesting, I'll give it high marks.

Best point made yet. Good advice Judy!

I am in, and quite excited about this one.
I haven't entered a challenge since being down here in Sydney.
I do hope most DPC members will look up the "Acronyms" meaning, before saying I don't know what it is, or can't work out the Acronym.

Good luck everyone.....

I'm in. Decided to use only the acronym in the title, versus spelling it out ... hopefully those not familar with either get it from my photo (the ultimate reward for my efforts) or at least look it up before dismissing it simply because they might not know it.

Will be an interesting week.
