I've been thinking about why don't we hold the third contest of Jurgita.com? It will be fun, I think. And it should be only for fun. Like maybe we hold a contest that should submit only one photo with the chosen theme... Plus some notes of how the photoshoot session was going... People should vote for their favourite. Like that? You've made a board for contests and why don't we use it? LoL

Just an idea.

Thank you

Cathy
I'm looking for a model who wants to work as one only for a piece of dress...
But seriously! If you do, please contact me.

I agree.I want a contest:):lookdown:
:cantlook::shocked:

very nice thought Catherina...a contest would be good. :muscle:
:muscle:

A competion sounds cool :thumbup: when is the theme getting decided???
Laughters the best medicine! Keep on smiling! :)

How about most improved ? Before the competition starts you select a picture from your current port and the winner is the person that submits the most improved pic. This way all models new and experienced can participate and everyone will focus on improving . Whether you win or not, at least you should have a better port at the end of it.

btw posting a really crappy pic at the beginning in order for you to select it as your starting point in not allowed. Maybe the judges should choose the starting pic.

hi

I believe its a good idea. Maybe this time lets make the contest very easy, funny and open to all members? For example the funniest photo or the best expression? :)
If a good idea is said and approval of the community given, than its not hard to make a contest :)
Now we need the idea of the theme and if anything else should be added, like questions, photo description or any other things. Lets discuss in this topic i think. Please tell me your ideas :)
Love to Love

I think funniest photo is a good idea:D:thumbup:
:cantlook::shocked:

I think best expression would do...eg wen u submit a photo then u shld indicate wat u intended to express ie fear, happiness, shock, sadness etc then everyone can vote which photo is best expressed. The photo shld as well be of th person who is posting.

The funniest photo is not a bad idea but it might divert from modelin since pple might end up posting all sorts of pics. Again I think it will b more advantageous to the photographers than models which aint fair:cantlook:...ofcourse as a photographer u hav some funny pics u took somewhere but as for me it might b quite hard.

*just my view*
:muscle:

A contest sounds like so much fun. All the ideas already said sound so great, it'll be hard to choose one :upset:

a mew contest soulds like a fun idea but let me beg u guys not to limit it to the ladies alone ok? any contest works fine for me.:thumbup:

I’m absolutely for contest. But I’m not sure theme of humor is a good idea: as for me this is quite hard to sink up a funny phrase or picture, just try and understand – it’s much easier to compose beautiful picture than the funny one.
Just my thought.

My idea is...

1. The picture of you from head to chest, and make the funny face! The theme is 'funy face'. But it should be make-up-ed, and not just a simple funny face... Like, we have to make it interesting. But without accesories like clown nose!? So the voters will see the real funny face not the funny accesories face

2. Models should 'shoot' a new photo, not old photos from their port.

3. Allowed to use photoshop only for background?

Well I'm giving this idea because I think models should be able to act in front of the camera. Even if you're not a funny person, more a serious one, a model should be able to 'give' what the competition wants to see. Me myself is more a serious person, but I love the idea of funny face.

And another idea.

4. Because this is only for fun, let's delete the 'judges' part. Let the voters vote their favourite 'funny face'.

5. Hmmm when will it begin? The first day of October will be good I think? And the models allowed to submit their photos for 2 weeks? And lets make sure that this time this contest go great! Don't worry about how many participants there will be. This is only for fun!

So.. what do you guys think?

But seriously! If you do, please contact me.

Let’s try it!:)

But maybe this time we'll need some help from the other participants. Since sending mail is free, let's tell the other members and models that we're having a contest. The more, the merrier.

BTW, I guess combining male and female in the contest will be good too. LoL.

So, on October 1st we are going to have a contest of funny face, where male and female can participate :) Im not sure about the makeup, will men do makeup? :))) I would love to see but wont it be too much to ask :D
I also think more time for uploading should be given, maybe even a month. But im ok with 2 weeks if you insist :)
Actually anyone of you may start the contest, cause its only making a topic in contests section, the only thing you need me for is starting the voting ;)
Love to Love

:muscle: Thanks Rasa:thumbup:..I support the 2 weeks because if we wait for too long it gets boring:dunno: mayb we cld say 2 weeks uploading 2 weeks voting. That wld make it a month.

Am looking forward to see wat people will come up with:D

Cathy do us the honors of starting the contest since u were th one who proposed th idea:pleased::thumbup:
:muscle:

@Lucia: I would be honored to start the contest. Anyway, my time is a day earlier than your times, I guess. I'll start the new topic on Contests! board at 1st October in my time. With rules, etc. Well actually I am with the 2 weeks too. 2 weeks more for the voting time. That makes it a month. But really! We'll have to work together to make this contest a better one. Tell your friends, etc... what do you think, guys?

@Rasa: Well I guess make up and without make up would be up to the participant. But surely everyone wants to look best. So let's just let the voters vote for their favourites! ^_^

What do you think people?

Can't wait...

Let's go for it!

And Funny face is a great and timely topic considering that right now advertising is targeting a market whose purchasing power responds more to light-hearted, witty almost slapstick humor in promotional material.

But one thing: We shouldn't have contests for contests sake. The contests should have a purpose and goal other than just increasing participation on the site. We talk about the majority of members not being interested in the contests. Truth to tell...what is to interest them? Some minor, short-term exposure from being in the contest? What true professional benefit accrues from winning or placing in a contest?

Articles are fine. Upgraded membership is cool. The Winner Banners are wonderful! What would be great is a pre-announced prize above and beyond the constraints of the site.

This site has loads of photographers, agencies and even publishers. Increased visibility of the site and members is a plus to us all. My suggestion is that Jurgita engage in collaborative efforts with photographers, agencies, etc. local to the area of the winner to provide a substantial prize.

It doesn't have to cost Jurgita anything monetarily. Member loyalty can provide for cooperative prize giving.

Say the winning model is in Paris, France. Jurgita contacts a member photographer in France to provide a photo sitting for the winning model. Perhaps Jurgita can offer a VIP membership to the photographer as compensation for their time. Perhaps a sitting with an member agency? A page spread with a member publisher? A make-over with a member MUA. The possibilities are endless with a little creativity, imagination and member collaboration. These things can be arranged in advance so that where ever the winner, Jurgita already has a pre-arrangement with with a local provider.
:cantlook: Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should :cool:

Yeah, this is more “material” than upgrade or smth…

Glad you agree. BTW: I will throw my professional hat in the ring first...if there is a Jurgita contest winner in the Virgin Islands I will be glad to provide a portfolio shoot as a prize and a 2 page magazine spread in one of my monthlies.
