    Short post:


    1. Photographers shoot predetermined theme each moth.

    2. I upload photos on a website, and take the fee (€5-10, explained in more detail below)

    3. Best photo is voted by contest participants only.

    4. Winner takes all the money.

    5. New theme, new competition


    If you like the idea please read the long post. Please don't comment before reading the long post.


    Long post:


    1. First theme for shooting will be decided by me, later we can vote on every new theme if agree to do so.

    2. To avoid any kind of biase while voting all photos will be uploaded at the same time, photos will be anonymous ( you will not know who's photo it is) voting will be anonimus, number of votes for each photo will not show untill the end of the competition, order or photos will be random for each voter, you can't vote for your own photo.

    The fee is there to make thinks a bit more interesting, to discourage people who are not serious enough to participate, but low enough to discourage proffesionals to participate, this is for ameteurs only. 

    3. As explained, only those who participate in the competition will be able to vote. The idea is to be judged by your peers, rather then by general public.

    4. I will take the payments on revolut only, so you'll have to get my phone number, thus you know who I am. It will be my personal number but I'll probably make a revolut account for this purpose only. I will share screenshoots of the accout with all participants.

    WINNER TAKES ALL. I will not take any percentage of the fees, everything will go to the winner. 

    5. Rinse and repeat each month.


    Why am I doing this:

    I was looking for this kind of competition but couldn't find any so decided to make my own. Which means I will participate myself, but I'll have no advantage because I'm running the competition, everything will be as transparent as possible.

    I will take care of the competition website and everything involved, including a few small expenses.

    I guess the competitors will be mainly from Ireland, but it will be oppened to everyone.


    If you have any questions or ideas what can be done differently please let me know.

    Also please let me know if you're interested so I know if I should spend time and money to organise something or not.
