# um
can anyone tell me... we didn't used to vote on the competition challenges did we? In Ye Olden days like...

I think the Challenge setter should just pick something... fuck democracy!

I don't really care, because if a challenge doesn't inspire me i'll just not enter, it's not a big deal - but there is always a whinging backlash every week. People could still submit ideas by e-mail during the week.

(EDIT) can anyone answer the first part of the question though... has it always been voted on... i haven't been here from the beginning and my memory is poor.

# the thing is....
I wasn't keen on the greenpeace challenge, so I paid it no attention. And I had a great time 'shopping kittens and polar bears instead!

edit - My point being, the challenge is just one of the things that goes on here. I reckon I prefer the non challenge stuff I've done to the challenge stuff.

# i think that challenges you don't like
give you a lovely outlook on how it should be. turn the game on its head and do something different- this competition is basically a license to pun, and there are some good puns out there!

# i agree
like i said - it doesn't bother me - but it might stop the griping if it weren't a voting thing... :)

# I agree
I tend not to post if I don't like the compo.

I have slyly given my feedback on this weeks compo with my pic below. It is irony.

# I tend not to post
stuff for the challenge. I'd just rather do my own thing.

Not that you'd notice, since I hardly post any pics these days.

# Fridays...
are always like this. People tend to post as many competition entries as they can think of as quickly as they can, and as a consequence, most of it is a bit pants!

I like the competitions, although i dont enter them very often. They give the place a bit of structure:)

edit/ im sure there will be some classy entries by the end of the week.
