Rob Stamp has started a discussion:

Secret Photographer Challenge (SPC), basically it involves submitting upto three photos (from 15th to end of the month), for a particular theme, and then everyone votes (from 1-9th of the month) on which ones they think are the best pictures.

Please see SPC game rules and instructions

The game is played at the external VM Site, where it is necessary to be registered.
Other than name and ipernity id, an email address is the only personal detail held, and that is optional, but by providing one, you can be reminded of the progress of the game.

Unlike the CWP, your votes are not posted here, they are saved at the VM site, together with your photos. See section 3 in the SPC Rules

The photos can be viewed in a Voting Machine, during the entry phase, and selected for your voting choice in the voting phase, and finally in ranked order when the results are declared.

Endeavour to judge the photos fairly, and as "Secret Photographer" suggests, you avoid being being biased by friendships.

The game was started at Panoramio, later the submitted photos were hosted on a member's server, where we intend to continue, but in this group, the use of discussions will allow the control of each game, and the monthly moderator can contact players when required.

SPC game rules and instructions

It will be necessary to register at the VM Site, where an email address is the only personal detail held, and is optional.

There will be less use of discussions compared to the CWP group because the photos are stored, and the voting done, at the VM site.

I hope the top three each month will upload their photo to ipernity, so that they can be added as contributions to the group, making it a winner's gallery. This does mean that all other applications for adding a photo to the group will be rejected.

You might like to create an album to collate your contest entries.

Please do not start new threads, instead add comments or questions here.
