Title: New book on casting- competition
Post by: iceopals on August 22, 2014, 10:26:07 AM
Just want to give a head's up to anyone that might be interested in adding a cast piece for competition in a new casting book.

Thanks for the post!  I don't cast but I know others here do.   :thumbsup:

So, I do have a question about competitions.   I noticed the competition category is for friendly ones run on this forum.   I mentioned the casting one I ran into here because it seemed a good fit.   But there are others that I would like to bring up and I'm not sure the best place to do so.   In the category where it is a fit?  In the competition section?   Advice would be most welcome, thanks.

Ice, I'd put it in the category the competition is for.  Like this one is in the Gold, Silver, etc. category.  I think that's the best way to do it.   :headbang:

Except that what is in the link isn't really a competition.
You are submitting work to a Jury and they decide what to put into the book.  You aren't competing for a prize except perhaps for notoriety.
The competitions category was not set up for this sort of thing, it's only for forum competitions.   :thumbsup:
