That sort of example can happen with it right now in the Arms chris. People upload pictures now and not much else.

If they used Palace on Emulsion and mentioned it, then it would be taken into account, if they didn't mention it, and they won, then there's nothing we can / could have done about it. Whether it was in the arms or the main tiling forum.

I agree aout getting more exposure with this competition Great Idea and also our sponsers will also benifit

But if you want to keep it simple fine

Eg

Power shower tiled by Joe le public using a good quailty big tile
It gets oted the best and wins Great

Did they mention they used Palace Supergrip onto Emulusioned walls Etc etc

You are making a hugh mistake unless these things are taken into account as Joe the public will ote for the best looking picture

Ha e a good think on this one as i dont want this forum to be rubbished because of a quick gain in interest and numbers

Well, all that can be avoiced with prep photos. Doesn't have to be step by step instructions, but people can comment, and if one of the pro-tilers on here thinks there is something fishy going on, asks the questions on the submit thread, the participant can or cannot answer, people get an idea, as well as some idea how seriously good tiling should be taken. If someone could not answer certain basic questions in response anyhow it could be treated like the no date stamp, as a disqualification. A bit like Xfactor for tilers.. I think it's a really good idea, a chance to see what good jobs should look like, from start to finish. And it's a good exercise for learning from our own mistakes, having progress photos, I take them all the time, want to look back on stuff and remember, oh yeah, that was /wasn't such a good idea.

The best thing here is to try not to over think it.. It is no different to being here or open forums.. members will vfote on what they like and not just the intricate work that some know that goes into it..

And after all it is just fun.. lets not kill it with loads of rules..

 

[DHTiling]

Can i enter with repairs jobs? To show people how things can be repaired if or when they go wrong. :smilewinkgrin:

Certainly.

Hi all

I always supported and entered jotm for the fun of it, and to show fellow forum members the standard of work i do on a regular week on week basis.

the prizes and exposure to the public are/would not be an issue to me.

the rules on date stamping, prep etc are valid but start to take away from the simple ethos the comp used to have in the begining and make entering a bit more of a hassle, but I agree they are needed.

most of the regular pro tilers on the forum have won the jotm now, some more than once so opening it up will probably introduce some new blood to the mix.

I hope it works out well.

long live jotm

The reason for date stamping was just to make it fair.. because before hand we did not know when a job was done and members could simply enter jobs done years ago etc... Hence the title JOTM to be completed within said month..

 

[chrisroe]
