July EPs, SFs, Fs


The posts in this forum should only be related to EPs, SFs and Fs. Please start a new thread for anything else. Good luck everyone! Also, I won't be submitting images to the contest for a while but I will continue to start this thread until I get really fed up.

  Up through July 5 for me - I forgot to enter on the 6th and my entry for the 7th was from my gallery and already had an EP. I also forgot to enter on the 1st and 2nd but have new EP's on the 3rd and 4th so a remarkable success rate so far.

  Ken, Jane has probably seen a few entries entered at BP by the PG 101 Club members wherein the members compete for three to four Themes each month. This weeks Theme was "Portrait" in the club.

  Jane, PG101 is a club on Yahoo groups. However, its members are all current or previous BPers. Its a fun club where members interact with each other and have activities like the Themes challenge. Here you can share and ask anything about photography and the members are generous in the sharing of knowledge.

I definitely recommend joining PG101. There are no fees as such, however, you are expected to give some time to the club.

If you or anyone else would like to join the PG101 club just send an email to either Kara Hendricks, Nikki MacDonald, Mitch Spence or Melinda Schneider and ask for an invite.

I have been a member of this club since 2008 and have greatly benefited from it and made many a friends too.

  I haven't been participating much lately, only two entries each month since May! So I wanted to check in here and see if the EPs are still following the same pattern? It does look like they stopped July mid month. When they start back up are they gonna start doing August, then go back and finish July? Thats the pattern it was last time I was following. Frustrating because I liked the old way sooo much better lol!

  They seem to have stopped the going back and forth. We are all happy about that..however, to better answer you, they will take a second run through the month (in this case, July) later on in August to pick up some of the ones they missed.

  Debra, I don't think you can remove it from the contest, without deleting it. You might also contact BP "Contact Us" button, if no one else chimes in. Worse case, you've resubmitted a finalist. However, if your finalist gets gold this month, you definitely need BP to somehow take it out of August contest, because I've seen people submit gold medals. If they make finalist, the gold medal is replaced by silver medal. And if it doesn't make gold the next time, it retains the silver medal. A big risk.

Bottom line...if it stays a finalist, then just let it ride. You won't lose the finalist emblem and who knows...it could make finalist again and even gold. But if it makes gold for July, you need BP to help you out cause of the risk of losing your gold.

Again, that's assuming there's not a way for you to remove the contest entry, without deleting the photo.
