COMPETITION thoughts/ideas...


Hi Guys,

Can I ask you to please post your thoughts & ideas about competitions that we hold here on Zowie.

I have a bunch of prizes I can/will offer. I hope to have more competitions & possibly make it a regular thing on the forum.

A few of my thoughts about the previous competition. ( no particular order )


  • I tried to have factual answers. No which picture is better.. type "questions".

  • Do you want subjective questions ? ie which photo is better ?

  • Do you want questions that have to be guesses ?
    ( eg what is Steve's waist wrist size ? )

  • I didn't want a competiton where the first answer wins, because after, say, 4 days no-one has an incentive to even try. That's why I had 3 prizes.

  • It was a BIG mistake to make the answers public (thankyou BG & SJACKAL for pointing this out ). Future competitions will be run differently.

  • Maybe I made it too difficult ?

  • Maybe there were too many questions ?

  • Maybe all the questions should have been about modern seamasters/James Bond ?

  • Maybe there is simply no interest ?

  • Maybe the prizes were crap / uninteresting for the forum members ?

  • Maybe no-one trusts me enough to send me their snail mail address if they win ?

  • Should I exclude competition winners from the next competition? So John, Jason & Sam can't enter the next competition ?

Please post you ideas & thoughts about future competitions, the questions, prizes, format timing, WHATEVER.

Everyone has an opinion & I'd like to hear from ESPECIALLY the guys who didn't try, why.

TIA

Steve
