Free Contest Totals for March 2008


Calling all Contesters!

Here are the totals of the entries in the Free Contest for March 2008. Taken at 09:00 a.m. C.E.T. ( Midnight in Redmond, WA):

Nature and Landscape 5302 15.8%
Animals 5449 16.3%
People 5827 17.4%
Elements of Design 1748 6.7%
Digital Darkroom 2226 6.7%
Travel and Place 2334 7.0%
Flowers 3699 11.1%
Macro 2312 6.9%
Catch-All 3262 9.7%
Monthly Theme 1269 3.8%

Total 33458 100%

Again the totals don't quite add up by 30 - well, I guess this is due to the update routines at BP.

Comparasion:
October 2007 40033
November 35935
December 33187
January 36412
February 31563
March 33458

  Thanks for posting these. We really do appreciate it. Probably the reason for the total difference is that they were a little late changing them over or maybe because of the glitch where nothing could be deleted yesterday... or none of the above. LOL

  Thanks Colleen and Carolyn: The difference also arises, obviously, from the fact that you cannot click all pages 12 seconds before midnight at the same moment in time and it does take some period to download each page to my computer. But, who cares, the diff is just 1/100.

Looks like people have gone back to uploading a few more pics, no more snow shovelling!

By the way, there were 600 entries in the pay contest.

  Thanks for the update. I remmeber last month, there were 43 finalists out of around 6000 landscape images..roughly 0.7 percent ratio. Or on average, one photo out of 140 got a finalist...and I think most of the other categories were just as tough.
