    New contest theme!
    It is time for a new contest, and you can decide what the theme will be! You will have till saturday to fill in your choice, and I will anounce it from then. A week later uploading will start for another week, and then solving will begin. Ideas are taken from the old suggestions topic.

    Just a note: When choosing for a fun theme, also keep in mind that there have to be enough shots of this theme for everyone who wants to post one ;) If you think there won't be enough for a certain theme, just let me know!

    EDIT: If there is a tie saturday, a new poll will go for one day on with the highest rated options.

    anestie, I assume you mean coffee and cigarettes :)

    As I have just given up smoking, the last thing I want to see is 200 pictures of people smoking lovely, beautiful, warm, comforting cigarettes.

    But the other themes are ok, as well. Except for Gore.

    no dont think it is possible, and let's not start voting strategically here as well, come on :)
  10.  permalink
    Yeah, just vote for what you do want. If your choice doesn't make it, and we end up with a theme you hate, just suck it up and wait for the next one. In all honesty, if it ends up being mirrors, I'll probably ignore the whole thing and wait for the next contest, because I really do think it's a shitty theme. But there's a new contest every few weeks, so big fucking deal.

    Long story short, vote in favour of what you do want, not against what you don't want.

    I have no idea what I've chose for a couple of hours ... so no tactical voting from me^^

    Oh, and also, the good thing is that contest subjects are generally not re-used. There's enough people who are in favour of gore that it will eventually make it as the subject, so all the wimps who hate it might as well get it over with. :D

    Although I would like to see "Draw the movie" again next fall, to make it an annual contest. :D

    There is that, Draw the Movie was awesome. But then again, that's not exactly a theme, more a different approach to miscellaneous shots from all sorts of themes.

    Mirrors is an interesting theme for a contest, but I stick to my original suggestion of gore, splatter, mutilation all the fucking way! :)
    Seriously, out of the blue I can't think of a single (decent) mirror shot to upload, but I'll go with the will of the majority and hopefully I'll have an epiphany. But for now it's still a very close call...

    @ Asmodai
    Could you please run another thread for brainstorming on themes for future contests, as I have some more suggestions which I couldn't voice, because the poll was already started. That's not meant to be any kind of criticism, just a suggestion :)

    My four favorites are:

    Cameo's
    Photographs and Paintings .... Famous art and buildings too .... can't decide between the two
    Mirrors / Reflections
    Split Screens

    thats so hard ..... it's going to be .... *drums* .... Cameo's

    and to say something about the gore. Why do people vote just to NOT have gore? It will come sooner or later guys.
    I myself don't like gore that much, but I don't have to paticipate in the contest, do I?
    Let the people who want have their gore contest. Why not? The theme is not going to be repeated immediately.
    So, the people not linking gore could see it like this: The sooner it is over the sooner, the theme is finnished and closed.
    *Thinking about voting for gore now* :) ...... no I think I stay with Cameo's :)))
  14.  permalink
    @Daria: Yeah, that's what I thought too. Gore will come sooner or later and when users want to have it, it should be the topic. That's it. :)

    I dont mind gore (I really like colour red ;D ) but I still voted Photographs and Paintings. There's just something appealing about them, maybe it's because I like to draw xD Cant wait for the drawing contest again! Missed the last one ;(
