We have been running our monthly competitions in the Prime Lenses group since it was formed back in 2013. Since then the number of group members has increased considerably but, sad to say, the number of entries in the monthly competition has been reducing.

This may well be an opportune time to ask you to let us know how you feel about the monthly competition. Should we continue with it? Does the format (the winner gets to set and judge the following month comp) appeal to you? If it does not, would you care to suggest alternatives (sorry, $$ prizes and trips to exotic places aren't possible). :-) Have you entered any of the monthly comps and, if not, has something specific been the reason? I'm sure there are other questions and issues that you feel may be relevant. In any case, your feedback would be most welcome.

The truth is that four weeks ago I promised George that I would try to with some new idea about our competition.
And I honestly tried but nothing came :(
I am so sorry, George!
What shall we do?

Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback on this. I hope I'm right in summing up the suggestions this way:
* we should try running the comps for longer to allow maximum time for people to take their shots and enter.
* we should run the comps for either two months or until we have a minimum number of entries (maybe 10)
* we should place a marker in the group photo stream to make the comp more obvious to group members
* we should hope that the reason for the lack of entries is not because people have become tired of too many competitions.

Thank you, Marta, for returning to the discussion following your time away. If you would care to email me through the site, we can begin to think about a subject for our next group comp. (A reminder to all, Marta won our most recent comp but has been away).

I would suggest we pick up on all the ideas provided - that we run the next comp until we have EITHER a set minimum number of entries (let's start by trying for 10) OR for two months, whichever comes first. The comp to start on 1 May and I will arrange a place marker to go in the group photo stream to promote it. Does that sound OK to everyone?
