I have this sinking feeling that voting by our friends/contacts/peers/flickrites will come into it - but I do so hope not...

I've noticed a sudden outbreak of hyper positive comments on some pictures.
So the 'judging' might be by acclamation - the number of wow's divided by the co-efficient of way-to-go and that old favourite 'awwwwright' perhaps.
But at least it will save anyone from making a choice....

Let's hope we hear differently!

I've never had an AAwWWRight! What have I been missing!

It usually comes with a side order of phew. Can occur spontaneously and there is no known cure.

Hi, hopping they won't care about the comments and the votes (not objectives) but the real values of the pictures.)

tamed shrew: what do you mean?

What can I say (here!). I've realised that the ethos behind the comp is 'modern' street and studio - how much degradation can we photograph or put on display. I'm into catching the 'different' moment - the one that makes you smile, not frown - or look away.

do you not think there's a healthy mix in the pool?
and i'm not quite sure how you've arrived at that conclusion anyway.

Has this anything to do with Juergen Teller's back catalogue? If so, I don't think you should worry - nudity is not compulsory.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I'm happy with nudity - just not his portrayal of it - quite turns me off!
Please! As I said, it's a personal thing and I don't want to influence anyone else one way or another (whether they understand or not). I'm just too old and too square!!

@ Shrew - If you didn't want to influence anyone else, then the best way to do so was walk away silently without commenting on why you walk away.. Clearly, you posting your reasons for leaving implies you DO want people to have their thought process influenced...
Hmmm, maybe i'm just beeing hypersensitive.. but it just seems conflicting to hear people note that they don't want to influence others while exposing people to their opinion/thoughts which by it's very nature causes them to injest the information and use it to formulate their own opinioin.. ie they have become influenced, even if they simply disregard your comment..
See.. if I didn't want to influence you and others Shrew, i'd have shut up and walked away... probably should have huh? :)

I'm very happy with the judging panel and, without wanting to sound too obsequious, I have a lot of sympathy for them, since they have so much to sift through. While there is a great deal of fine street photography in the pool, there is an awful lot of crap being submitted by people who have probably not even read more than two word's of the Tate's exhibition guide, let alone stepped foot in an art gallery for several years.
While they say the internet is great for democracy (and flickr is a particularly good example of "average" people having a chance to have their voices heard and their pictures seen) I often wish that people who have no concept of art weren't allowed to enter competitions like this. There might be a couple of Martin Parrs or Gillian Wearings lurking here, but it's gonna take a very good eye to find them amongst all the A.N. Others.

surely celebrARTY you're missing the point, its a pool, a cross-section. It's just taking part that matters.
Sorry, you do sound obsequious.

My goodness CelebrARTY 156 - you seem the perfect candidate for the judging panel - no need to worry there. :)

Hi
The streets are full of ordinary people going about in their ordinary ways.
Recent competitions (and galleries) seem to favour depicting (I won't say finding, because I have my doubts about contrived scenes) cinematic seedy dives and back-alleys. If a portrait photographer is "exploring my inner sexuality and darker side" - rather than exploring the humanity all around them - they are flavour of this moment in time.
It's just so predictable! But I guess photography does go in cycles and each "innovator" thinks they were the first to invent a style.
The style of the top named judge is one that I find totally contrived and £$funding-seeking. So be it! This seems to be what is wanted at present.
This is why I'm not participating -it's not my style, nor would I contrive or manipulate people to come up with something "eye-catching" and of the moment.
Hope you now understand.
Good luck!

high tamed shrew thanks for reply, sort of comprehend where your commimg from, i personaly skipp contrived relative to this [street] section but re studio, is it not so that portrature is by its own description dressed/contrived falsely lighted / made up / back droped etc, being the very opposite of what you may encounter on the street , especialy if the subject is unawear of you getting the shot you deemed a instant must have,for your colection, or other. top named judje? iknow nought of, will endevor check them out an post again, the other judges may be tending more in the street prefferd [style] . which would seemingly balance things i think flickr are considerably balanced in their descisions, and play a fair hand to all, well we will see whenwe see eh, p.

Perhaps we should start a competition to judge the judges? And when they've judged us, we can give them a small prize - like being able to judge forever based only on comments in on-line discussions like this.
And so; on.

Competitions like this have become a cheap way for Galleries and/or websites to get photographs. Perhaps we *should* start querying and judging the judges - it's the only fun/input/feedback we can do!

Er... moaning about the judges isn't going to change anything. While each of them has a personal taste, they are all very capable of spotting "interesting" work whether it was created in a studio, snatched on a street or painted on the back of a bus. I think people will be surprised by the variety of work that ends up being included in the book. The pool for this group includes Parr-ish shots of chavs, gritty urbex shots of dark alleys and derelict buildings, Teller-like commuters on tube trains and every sort of snapshot/portrait you can imagine. No one expects you to like everything that gets chosen, but the Tate thrives on including "controversial" material in its exhibitions. If you don't like "Modern" art, then go elsewhere; preferably back to the nineteenth century. :)
If you think your "happy" pictures say something about the modern world, then by all means enter them. Someone might like them, but I don't think it will be me. :)

I would love to see some modern art. What disappoints me is seeing art as old as humanity - and as boringly predictable in puporting to be 'modern'. If it weren't so sad it would be laughable.
