CAKEY PLEASE! 5/1 - 5/31

this is awesome! i'm glad our clan has cool things like this to entertain its people! i'm looking forward to seeing other entries!

I'm looking foward to seeing YOUR entry Vante!

yay!!! so excited!! ^_^ I wonder what I should do.... hmmm

it's just photography right? so no artwork allowed... just to clarify

Wait will this be public?

i was kinda under the impression it would be private too... but I guess it's not too bad if the theme is cake, you don't have to have yourself in the picture.

Well I would like to share it on CL, it is not required in the contest to reveal your identity/image. Only requirement is PSN name included in photo.

But if people feel that strongly about it, I guess we dont have to share the images on CL.

And this is Photography only. No artwork. Though we can have an artwork contest in the future if enough people are interested.

Cake can be non-edible. (as in Neo Plushy)

Oooh, so this is it, NICE!! I can't wait to judge these.
Oh, as an added rule, you have to ship them to me so I can inspect them. Don't fret if your box comes back empty.

May I judge too?
Maybe the organizer (Pam?) can blur or remove the PSN names so judges won't be biased.

Let me get feedback from the group. We assembled 2 Joker Judges (Owlka and Von) and 1 guest Judge (Beto) for our first ever photo contest. Maybe we can add an additional judge. If not, I will be happy to add you to our potential guest judges for our next contest!
(if you would be interested!)

The Joker Identifier is important because we want to insure people are using their own original photos and not trolling the internet and "borrowing" someone elses work.

Can you be an unbiased judge Nova?

Oh, Pam, what Nova means is that the person submits their entry to you with their PSN name on the picture (not digitally on it as you said), and you keep a record of it, but then you erase the person's PSN name off the picture, so the judges won't be biased (not like it'll happen, but just so it's all completely fair). Then once judges pick the winner, you just figure out whose cake that was by looking at the original picture.

Yeah, what beto said. I assume you (Pam) will be collecting all the entries.


And Von is not baking?
Bake, Von! I'll take your place as judge.

We will be creating a section in our gallery specifically for the Photo contest. I have to ask Simmy to do it, or try to figure it out myself.

I am hesitant to blur the identifier, because if a participant comes up with a creative way to display it in their photo, I would hate to crop it out and possible affect their scoring?

I think Vonnies course load may be too much to allow her to participate (at least for this first contest) That is why she has offered her services as judge.

maybe nova can come in if there is a tie as a tie breaker?

pam is so understanding
I decided I want to be judge for the first contest

I see what beto means about having the name as a potential bias.. but any way there will always be ways to have potential biais! you will just have to trust us judges' integrity

Are cupcakes allowed? :]

This is probably a real n00b question but who's Jester the Joker?

i believe cupcakes are allowed. I think jester is the dude on our forum

Yes Jester is our mascot Joker dude.
Yes Cupcakes are allowed.

The Album for the contest is now in the Gallery section. Can't wait to see your creative yummy submissions!

I uploaded a picture of my birthday cake.. but i forgot to put "flim" near it.. idk what to do now.. because the cake has 2 slices missing and no candles so i cant take another pic -___ lol fail flim faiiiilllllll

OH, Flim, I saw your cake (looks good btw ), and maybe a way to show that it's truly yours is to take a picture of that counter top at the same angle and put your name in there? Haha, at least it'll show it was your house.
Or well, hopefully putting a slice with your name is enough.

Yes i hope so otherwise it doesnt matter xD i will just let this contest go and try the next 1
