It loses something when it gets shrunk...

Dang, I can't find anything sarcastic to say about that.............It loses something when it gets shrunk...

Very clever, ISBN!!!
Nope. I'll be wrapping it up shortly, though.
It didn't bring as much participation as I had hoped. I was hoping we'd have 20-30 people vying for the prize, but only had around 10. I'm not entirely sure how to navigate through these forums and create excitement around contests like this. Some of the contests I see around here have hundreds of entrants. Any clues?
On the bright side, however, the entries we did receive were all awesome and way better than anything I could have done!
If any of you have any ideas as to how we could increase participants, feel free to let me know!
I'll compile the entries this week and create a new thread for voting!
Thanks!

Eric,
I think the biggest stumbling block to a large number of entrants is the fact it's a photoshop contest. Quite a few of the "regular" contesters don't do image manipulation contests. Personally I think if they can explain their idea well enough with words, the actually photo work can be done by someone else (I know I've done that for people in the past).
Another item that I think is likely hurting entrants is the deadline. A lot of people tend to wait until close to the end (I don't know if it's because they don't want their ideas seen too early or what) and if there's not a clearly defined end date, people are put off. You have an end date but IMHO it was too far off at the start (it's easy to procrastinate and then forget).
The only other thing I can think of is that there's been a few photoshop contests recently that nobody ever won (off the top of my head I can think of 2 different ones). The vendor I guess wasn't happy with the entrants and rather than publicly say that they just forget it and ignore people's questioning posts.
This contest was posted in the "Contest Thread" which normally draws people to contests, but maybe it couldn't overcome the other items?
But all those reasons pale in comparison to my winning entry disuading people from even trying! It's understandable, who wants their hard work to look like trash next to my masterpiece?

Are you saying I need luck?
I should have made one with a Cat in it... just to level the playing field...
Ah but cats are not equaly to dogs! How many people you know that have 3+ cats? Compare that to how many people have 3+ dogs! See, the people with 10+ cats are just trying to make up for the fact they don't have a SINGLE dog!
Actually, I don't have any pets at all right now... 
(unless you count the SNAILS in my fish tank... LOL!!)
