# Is it because of easter, or is it the fine weather...
or is this just the most unpopular compo ever - there are only three pages of entries.
I can't remember a time in the last few years where so few images were entered into the compo.....


ps I only write this here cos I'm rissing on the pic....

# interesting
thanking you for your feed back.

I was the opposite - crappy relationship and bereavements meant I lost too much weight and have spent the last year putting it back on. Seven stone back up to 9 stone - get in!!!!

Then I scrolled down and saw the mcD post so we've just gone out and bought a wopper, chips and coke. Nom nom!!

# It does seem to be quite unpopular. The compos are losing steam.
(I helped save b3ta! BorisKarloff is in the back of the classroom forever, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 15:06, archived)
# It depends on the challenge,
rather than compos in general losing steam, I think.

I think a good contest needs to be specific enough to focus your mind on its subject, but broad enough to be able to approach it from several different angles.

For example, ones about movies usually do well because there are so many movies to apply the more specific rules of the competition to.

However, this one seems too limited in subject (the fat), and the rules (make someone useful) are too vague to really be able to easily grab an angle on.

that had 19 unusable stock shot pictures and the idea was that you could only use these pics but you could shop them in any way.

it is true though, there are some very encouraging and friendly people, there's also people who are just dicks.
