Geez- I asked if anyone had contacts to try and squeeze some prizes, and you have the King contact in your back pocket!!! Re EA organisation.  I can see where you are going with this, and if it results in JJ making prizes available, then yes its worth it, but not really otherwise.  Personally, I like EA but others have their own opinions.  I dont see that we should push people down particular roads for a painting competition if there are no tangible benefits.   For example, a 2nd Ed player who has got his superdetailed Landraider detachment of 3 vehicles wouldnt be able to submit them without going to the trouble of painting up a 4th vehicle (which he needs under EA org) which outside the painting comp he won't use.  This seems rather pointless and annoying. I understand that in many cases the differences are negligable or non-existant, but pushing EA (much as I like it) isnt an objective of the painting comp and this may even put people in the position where they would rather not participate.  This would thus reduce the # of entires, which is th real objective of the comp. So no, it wont be EA specific orgs unless there is a Prize Benefit from GW, or if people say here that they are happy to move to EA orgs rather than those of any Edition. Over to you guys to tell me what you want _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Sorry for joining this thread too late, but what do you guys think? Sounds good- but as we have been discussing here and in the "101 members" thread, we want people to be members to submit and not have to be members in order to vote (if as you say you can prevent blatant cheating).   We will also need some sort of guards to ensure that people dont accidentally (or otherwise) upload A3 size/2 Mb files. If you can pass the relevant technical specs (max size, dimensions etc) to me I will add them to the file I am building with all the competition rules detailed. We also need the vote count to be invisible too, so nobody can see how entires are going until they are announced.  We can discuss this more closer to the date. _________________ Tas My General blog: http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/ My VSF Blog: http://pauljamesog.blogspot.com/ My ECW Blog: http://declaresir.blogspot.com/

Sounds good- but as we have been discussing here and in the "101 members" thread, we want people to be members to submit and not have to be members in order to vote (if as you say you can prevent blatant cheating).   I can set it up so that people must be Gallery members to submit if that is what you mean. We will also need some sort of guards to ensure that people dont accidentally (or otherwise) upload A3 size/2 Mb files. If you can pass the relevant technical specs (max size, dimensions etc) to me I will add them to the file I am building with all the competition rules detailed.

Already in place . The gallery will automatically create thumbnails of any image given to it, then create a 640 x 480 viewable version. The original will remain on the server but cannot be viewed by the public unless I change the settings for the competition album.

We also need the vote count to be invisible too, so nobody can see how entires are going until they are announced.  We can discuss this more closer to the date.

That has already been implemented in the code, very easy to do.
