First of all Stephen, you guys are in a giving mood.

That is a lot of prizes going to be handed out for all those categories.

I think that if you state the prizes for each category you'll attract more attention.

I have a feeling that this is going to be like a 3 month competition.

Maybe if you don't want all of those categories in the contest, you can just do a contest for best sidepot poker chip photo that would be fitting for print ad in a magazine?

Anyway, can't wait for the final decision for the criteria of this contest. I'm itching to get something going.

I can't help out in this, but I just wanted to say that this is a great passive marketing idea. I hope you get a great catalog of shots.

I like the idea too, but could it be possible to submit e.g. 3 pics per category? As this will be somewhat of an art, what one likes and doesn't is up for interpretation so maybe 1 pic /category is a bit too "random". In my head, e.g. 3 pics/category will increase the quality of the best ones (while also decreasing the worst ones).
