doesnt sound like a bad idea, I assume this means pictures taken by Camera phone?

The question is... prizes. Where would they come from?

I guess we could have categories too such as

1. best overall camera phone picture
2. best Sony Ericsson camera phone picture
3. best ? etc etc

we did a theme creating contest a year or two back. We gave members a certain amount of time to post their themes and then we got members to PM their votes. it worked quite well...

for nostalgia, here are those threads!

Category 1
Create the Official Esato Theme. As simple as that.
Theme Competition - Official Esato Theme entries (category 1)

Category 2
Create the Official Esato Ring tone.
Ringtone Competition - Official Esato Ringtone entries (category 2)

Category 3
Create the best general theme.
Theme Competition - General Theme entries (category 3)

and finally...

Theme Competition - Winners Announced!

Well, if this happens, the contest would depend on each mobile:

k300 picture contest

k310 picture contest

k700 picture contest

etc.

You know what i mean. No prizes. People will vote for every picture they think is the best.

i think it would be great and masseur is right on with the suggestions imo.... you could have best night shot? best indoors shot... best moving object shot etc.....

as for prizes..... ummm.... why not let soemone get the oppertunity to either join the esato team (even if for only a month) or have some sort of input into its design or threads...... not really sure how taht would work, but that way the prize is 'free' and the winner gets something out of it.....

My personal opinion is that no award is needed - the best award for a SE fan would be for him/her to be able to say to his fellow esatonians - I WON THE COMPETITION! I AM THE MAN! Please consider that...

What about a reverse caption competition? Someone posts a caption, and then the membership has got to find a pic that fits the caption? Could be fun.

Cool! I agree that prizes are not necessarily needed.

A mention in your own signature is enough.

I am the great ESATO HAPPY SNAPPER APRIL competition winner ! (Or something like that )

We need a list of categories:

How about:


Best 2.0mp photo.
Best 1.3 mp photo.
Best photo below 1.3mp.
Best non 2.0mp photo.
Best non 1.3mp.
Best non below 1.3mp.
Best photo taken with special effects.
Best photo taken on public transport.
Best photo taken while in a pub/wine bar.
Best photo taken of a pet.


Of course the above list is open to suggestions

Whan shall the closing date be?
How are the snaps to be judged?

Any ideas anyone?
