Hey, another problem starting to become REAL big this year is that a lot of people are now uploading photos with their name burned in. Used to be only one or two. Now I've had to e-mail more than a handful. I have adjusted the text on the upload message to say "No names or copyright burn-ins, please".
Got another couple of Hong Kong collages too. One guy was happy to replace the one collage I pointed out, but then asked if he could keep the other collage picture? Not sure what the logic is there... we definitely need to have the ability to include "extra unjudged images" next year, because these folks have really done a nice job including representative little slices of their tank. It is a shame I have to tell them no.

Looks very good today, as I just finished typing in the entries for the two folks who've entered through the mail so far this year... again, remember that in 2003 & earlier, we only had 60-70 entries total. Last year we had about 120. One curious phenomenon. As folks are starting to send their photo release forms, several have decided that scanning in a generic signature and "pasting" it into a word or jpeg file of the release form is OK. Sigh. I am not sure why anyone thinks this counts as signing a document. I have attempted to make things easier by adding a special photo release only page, and linking to it in 15 places throughout the website. Maybe people don't have access to a scanner & don't understand that they can take a digital picture of it in lieu of scanning or faxing (but how'd they scan their signature?). Maybe one of the folks will send me an angry letter that they "don't do printers". Stay tuned. - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ AGA-Contest mailing list AGA-Contest@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-contest_______________________________________________ AGA-Contest mailing list AGA-Contest@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-contest
