The month of July, 2009 will bring something new to offer loyal fans of our digital photo creations. At this time, we will start up some weekly contests which will feed automatically into monthly and yearly competitions as the momentum builds. Our starting weekly contests will award the top three winners and give them a free ride to competition for winning monthly level prizes.
When the monthly participation grows large enough, the top three winners from each month will get chances to win prizes in the yearly photo competition levels. Since it will take some time for participation to build, our focus will be on growing our weekly and monthly incentives. When weeks or months pass without enough competition, there may be no weekly or monthly winners to collect prizes. This anticipated low entry volume means more chances to win for the few who do participate.
As actual competition builds, it will be possible for entrants to win multiple weekly and monthly prizes during the year. More wins mean better chances for being selected for higher level prize categories. Until the weekly and monthly contests warrant annual prizes, we will be working on putting together the incentives for this level, which will be greater than those prizes planned for monthly winners.
As contestant participation evolves, we presume there will be adjustments to our contest structure at various levels. Depending on what kind of entries we receive, there may be allowances put in place for considering various contestant skill levels to give all our participants chances to win. We will take steps to make sure the contests are fun and interesting as we move forward. We reserve the right to adjust our contest criteria to allow for disqualifying material that is inappropriate, off subject, improperly submitted, or other reasons that may arise from our on-going experiences. These contests are being created to recognize the work of our loyal fans, and to showcase our digital photo creations and techniques.
