We put the following idea to Jim, who has replied and suggested we put it to members for thier feedback.

Hi Jim,
Have been mulling over on a thought I had, I dont know whether you would be interested or if you have already done something similar.
How about a members show and shine, it would be more of a photographic skills competition really.
Members post a (1) photo of their vehicle(s) trying to highlight what makes theirs special, or their vehicle with a fantastic backdrop. Maybe not just a normal everyday photo of a car
Then a voting system by members to pick the best photo or photos split into types.
We would be willing to sponsor trophies or vouchers as I am sure others would too.
Would appreciate your thoughts
If this would cause an increased workload for you, I would gladly accept emailed pictures and I would get together a judging panel from my local area to pick the winner(s).
Its just a bit of fun and truly national, maybe an excuse for everyone to get clicking.
Good advertising for aussieveedubbers as I am sure VWMA would be interested too
Cheers
Roy

but are the catergories going to be dif car types or dif photo styles??

no offence to whoever suggested it but i reckon if you cant post it up here urself then tough.........not to be harsh or anything, i dont have a digital camera either, but i have access to a library and a scanner...............

sounds like a resounding yes to this. We will have a word with Jim and get it started very soon, probably give a time frame so that infrequent posters get a fair chance as well.
My initial thoughts are Type categories but styles are also important.Like I said its not necessarily the vehicle quality but how you see your vehicle and what could make it special and different to another, backdrop or presentation.
I am quite happy to sponsor this whole idea but if any other companies are interested let me know.
Trophies or framed photos with a plaque??

Sounds like a great idea, I've got plenty of pics of our Kombi.
That pic above was taken at Valla this year.

We are open to suggestions on judges, as it will be by E-mail, the judges can be from anywhere in the country. Thats the great thing about this, it will be truly national maybe even international

Good idea, but if its a photo (not photoshop) competion, should it be limited to untouched up photos?
Or have separate catagories for 'enhanced' photos.

no use appointing judges. too open to corruption...
If I get the nod red kombis are way in front...
might have to make it a poll...then everyone can sramble all over the joint loggin on to every pc they can find to vote for their car..

i think it would be a good idea, but you would have to have some clear rules so that there is no bitching. i would suggest that the entrants must be aussieveedubbers members of course, and the car picture being entered being their current ride. no 'past tense' posts. no touch ups, or have a seperate section called 'fantasie' or something. who could judge and be able to call a photo a touch up. would they need to be vouched for, maybe?
i am interested, but like most kombi owners maybe try to have different sections for various models, like they do with beetles. always psises me that real events class splits with fatchicks and so on.... sorry that last bit was my gripe. dont have to include :kiss
