If it's you yellow in the best of 200x challenge then that hold even more weight considering it won vs the best of the best of that year.l on this site which voters here tend to be tougher on.


I'm not fighting anything. I'm also not trying to get away with anything. I only asked for a rule clarification.

This is one of the images I was considering, but there are more.

Most contests do not want entries that have appeared elsewhere, especially if said images have received some sort of recognition. That is what I understood their rule to mean, and so it is.

The semantics of whether our "ribbons" are actual "prizes" is irrelevant.

Good luck with your entry, David!

You've got enough great images - you could be blindfolded, throw a dart at them - enter the one the dart hits / is closest to.

I was referring to Facebook with that comment for clarification in an attempt to say that on Facebook only the people who like or pretend to like your image get a say so it's not a contest in any sense of the definition.

You have great images and I'm sure you'll do well regardless of the one you choose.

To be clear I was talking about other posters more than you on the "fighting" comment.
