General Airsoft Discussion / Re: AEX January Femme Fatale Winners!!
« on: February 08, 2010, 11:31:26 AM »
For the monthly deadline, there’s about two weeks left before we cut Feb off and start collecting for March. So far, we’ve only gotten ONE new entrant for Feb, and when combined with the previous month, that brings us up to 9 total entrants.
Not that we consider this a failure- we still have entrants that can win and AEX will honor its prize support promise- but with so few entrants, it will make voting easy and for the ladies who have already entered, it makes their chances at winning pretty high- currently better than 20%.
But if you are interested and not sure of how you stack against the competition, then look here: http://gallery.airsoftextreme.com/galle ... emId=18519
As it stands, except for the one new entrant, these ladies are the current competition, and if things remain as they are, then a January entrant has a great chance at winning the month of Feb. So, if you think you can top the competition, then get your photos submitted!
And if you’re wondering about our exact voting criteria, I can tell you that we take many things into consideration. I won’t spell them out here because it might give someone the impression that that’s all they need to concentrate on. Suffice to say, a “whole package” will take the cake. Look at the current entrants, look at the previous winners, look at the quality and creativity of the photos, read the “ode” about Femme Fatales, and this will give you a good idea of some of the things we are looking for.
And for clarification, “quality and creativity” of the photos does not necessarily mean “professional studio quality” or manipulation by Photoshop. Admittedly, January’s winner did shell out $$$ to go to a professional studio, but the photo was meant to be more of a gift for her husband. They actually clarified this point with me at the time of submission, and it did not break any rules, so I allowed it. And for the runner up, that was just a great photo and pose with an average camera by a non-professional person. However, as great as those photos were, we still only had 10 entrants for January. Things could’ve been different if there were 20 or 30 others to pick from.
So, get those entries in and good luck!
