Are we allowed to submit our photo to the contest forum AND a regular category too? I noticed you can't get questions or comments when you submit to the contest category.
I think if you want to enter a photo for the contest that the member's name is kept private until after the contest is over. That way the voters don't have any way of knowing who made which cake...which helps keep the voting more fair. I think this was a new policy that took effect between the Halloween & Fall/Thanksgiving contests. There's a thread somewhere concerning this....maybe look in the announcements forum? Or look further down here in the contests forum....look for a post from Jackie with something similar to this issue as the subject & maybe you'll be able to find it & get a clearer explanation of the answer...but once the contest is over, it's automatically added to your photos & the galleries, I think...
Hope this helps!
You can only do one or the other right now. If you want to be in the contest you have to wait to get comments until after the contest ends. Then the photo can be moved to the regular gallery.
Ahhh I see. Okay so that way also the cake has to be a newer cake, not one that is already in one of the galleries anyway. Gotcha. (I think I didn't follow that rule on one of the other contests, it might be nice to have that rule written in the guidelines, that it must be a unique cake not already posted to the gallery...)
Thanks.
It used to be posted somewhere that you should only submit an original photo/cake that you have not posted somewhere else before. But darned if I can find where that was...
