Competitions

[Alex3213]

Right I have read through the thread, many a time infact but I'm only posting now cos I wanted to see what you thought first. I must admit, I funnily enough agree with you that comps aren't interesting, some may be but a lot of them aren't. And in actual fact, I don't think any of my competitions have been at a high standard. I'm going to ask a few questions, a few which were on the Feedback Survey as I know a lot of you didn't send in the form and it would be interesting just to see what you think and what would make you enter a competition. Rather than me debating I'm just cutting to the chase because tbh, there's no point doing that if you're not going to change your mind. I'm leaving the questions open to everyone so don't say "I've already talked about this in the thread" because they are for all. Also there are a lot of competitons I would enter, just some I wouldn't depending on topic tbh.

1) How many competitions would be a suitable amount to use? How could these be set out? *
* Don't say more than what we already have because of course with quality not quantity if you PERSONALLY don't believe that there needs to be that many then it still will be considerably more.

2) What three aspects of competitions would make you enter competitions?

3) Are creative writing competitions a good idea to implement? +
+ We are 99% going to implement Graphics Competitions and also we probably will have these too but it's always nice for your word

4) What would be the "aim" of the competition you would love to enter? We won't copy it, just to see the sort of style!

5) What could we do with images?

Obviously the last one is a very open ended question but we won't be asking for the graphic department to help because they aren't our slaves. Are there any websites we could you use? You said you mentioned some Graham so if you can supply them that would help. These questions are to voice your opinion, not to go flame and criticise because although I may have came out very rude in the last thread, we do take on board what you say, we changed competitions a lot to float your boat however most of you don't seem to realise that.

@Prizes: Just to clarify it was only this week that Inseriousity. is incharge of prizes.

If there's anything else I can say, I'll try to!

EDIT: Oh yes Saurav's part. I don't think members would have liked it because I think they would realise comps are open and even if they didn't I think people would find it quite annoying.

EDIT2: Also I'm not slating the staff because they all very dedicated but there are competitions which I wouldn't enter, including mine when I get stuck for ideas but I do make it quite clear because I do have a contrast when I write reports.
