Change Category for Contest


Can an image be changed to a different category without deleting it and starting over?

  No...you need to delete it and repost it in the new category.

  Thanks, Jill. I guess I'll lose your nice comments. I want to post that one next month and put in on for the MT today.

  You can do this - Just go to My Photos - Manage/Enter and then choose the new category and enter.

  I don't see how that can work, Jeff. I can only enter one photo a day and I'd have to enter it into a new category which would not be allowed. I also just want to wait until next month and upload a different image. No biggie. I'll delete it.

  ABSOLUTELY. 1. Under “pancakes”go to My Photos – Manage/Enter and copy (Ctr – C) your image Photo ID number (8 digits).
2. Then again go to My Photos and from there proceed to – Upload – ALTERNATE IMAGE UPLOADER.
3. Paste your copied image number into the provided space in the upper right corner. Select your category. Check “Read and agree to our Terms and Conditions” box. Upload.

I do it sometimes. But keep in mind that you have to change your category the same month. If you do it tomorrow – your August entry will appear in September.

Hope it helps. Let us know.

  As Natasha says, Yes, Yes, Yes!! I do it all the time - well, not all the time because I try to get it "right" the first time, but at least a couple of times a month. Just open the image in your Manage/Enter section, drop the "enter contest" menu down, and choose a new category. Category will change but date of entry of the image originally will not. You will lose nothing.

And my instructions look easier to me than Natasha's do AND I think you should even be able to do this until the date the entry is looked at for an EP. But just to be safe, I'd try to do it before the end of the month, as she says.

  And I see now that Jeff gave the same way to go about it that I did. Hope we are not too late, Beth.

  Thanks everybody. I'm leaving things as is. I decided the photo I was going to use isn't that good. At least I have instructions for whenever I need them.
