Neofinetia falcata (Project 6b - Spring 2008)

[shakkai]

Sue & All

Had a quick exchange of ideas with Gwen, and here is what I was thinking....

We would have the general photo contest - Awesome Blossom - where all OB Members could vote, as originally planned at the start of the project. It would be nice to do it in the same format as Marty does the calendar contest. If Marty doesn't have enough time, I'd be happy to coordinate and post the photos in a poll. The top 3 photos with the most votes would get the prizes from New World Orchids. The 1st place winner would get to choose which one they wanted.

Then, I thought we could do three themed polls (only votes from people participating in the project) where the winner of each theme gets one of the Erin Pottery pots.

I am still completely bowled over that Gwen has single-handedly got us six prizes for this project!!

Here are the themes that I think could work:

Best in Bloom
Most Creative
Samurai Award (for best Japanese themed photo)

I also thought that, to be fair, the photos for the general contest and the theme contests should be different. It can be the same plant, but different photos.

People could enter just the main one, or any combination, or all of them, if they wanted.

As for deadlines, whatever you think is best. August 1st suits me, as I'm not going to pick up my Neos until June 8th. But I could also do July 1st if we want to be quicker.

What does everyone think?
