Can I participate and at the same time donate points to the pool??

@1138adrianmartinez Sure 🙂

Thanks for volunteering @Ninianed! 😘.
True to my word I've transferred 10,000 pts to you ... for running the comp. I'll send another 10,000 tomorrow for the prize pool (daily limit is 10k).

Thank you so much @Frank22, but please don't send the credits to me, Warrant has created a wonderul donation page:

The first 10,000 was what I promised to anyone who started the comp.... for you to keep😁. I just added next 10,000 to the prize pool.

Soon you can add a 3rd category 😀 I'm pretty sure that the 340k points is a record for the prize pools 😀

[NinianeD]

It's certainly a LARGE prize pool. 🙂 We can add things like Best of Show, Most Emotional, Most etc etc... 🙂 We just have to get everything settled and posted. We have time.

I think December 17 is a good day for the cut off... Begin November 17, end December 17. We've never had 4 weeks before, we may get a lot more that way. What do you think?

Of course it wouldn't hurt if anyone wanted to go ahead and start posting now...

[NinianeD]

I just have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who has donated to the Prize Pool!

It's pretty incredible to say the least!

All the best,
Niniane

@Ninianed!

@Warrant63

Using the request section for points collection is a great idea, and so easy to use now.
I just added my "2 pennies worth" and I note the 'record 340k points' has gone up to
375K.
Agree - room for a third category.

Also having the submission dates for the month suggested is a nice idea - plenty of time for everyone to get creative... 🙂

This is gonna be a real X-mas spirit thing with all the donations... Love the community
Thanx everyone

[NinianeD]

Absolutely... this has to be the largest prize pool yet.

And I can't thank everyone enough!

Special thanks to @Gaver, and @Warrant63 for helping me with all of this too!

This competition will begin soon, so get your rendering engines ready!

All the best..
Niniane

Shame there is no "classification" for skills. Else you could add a beginner, mediate, and advanced cat.

I have been playing a lot with DS, so it stands to reason I should be able to provide a better quality pic then say, someone who installed DS a month ago.
So I would have an advantage....

( There is plenty of prize-points, so maybe make the % smaller, and have a bigger winner group, so each gets a nice amount of points)
Just a thought....

My question is: Who will sacrifice tens of hours for his works with your rules if you turn the points multiple parts?
