accept the new rules?
new rules for banner competitions (?)
maybe we should set a rule that the main photo used on the banner should be not older than one year at time of the baner creation? because the first 2 banners are nice, only the pictures are quite old.
the only exception from that rule could be that if we found a super rare old pic it could be used. (for example like that old spanish style photo from antique times or 2004, or the lfe&styl 2006 photo I have scanned)
i would suggest 3 new rules for the banner competiton:
1. The main photo used on the banner is not supposed to be older than one year at the time of the banner competition.
[details:
a) you might use older photos in the background of the photo, but at least one new photo should be clearly shown on the banner
b) if we recently have found a very rare old picture of Helena it might be used in despite of this rule.
c) by "one year" is meant the whole previous year, so if we have 2011 you can use all pictures of 2010 and 2011, no matter if we have April 2011 or December 2011 - otherwise that rule wil become too complicated.]
2. The winner of the banner competition is not allowed to submit an entry for the next month. So if you win the March competition, you are not allowed to enter the April competition. You can participate for May again.
3. If you didn't submit a banner, unless you won previous month, then don't complain about the entries. You could have participated as well and have done it better.
I think we need rule number two because many people don't compete anymore because of the same people winning over and over again

I don't agree with the 3rd..many members don't have knowledge in photoshop, or have no designing skills and that's acceptable of course. Furthermore everyone has the right to express his opinion. I wouldn't express the rule this way. I would just say to respect owner's work by not being rude and express your opinion kindly.

well then let's say: constructive criticism is allowed.
But Pano, members who have no knowledge in photoshop also shouldn't mourn about current entries. it's always a lot of work to create banners, and even if someone doesn't like any of them, the opinion should be expressed in a way which does not come "from above". as you said, it's about expressing opinions kindly and only if they contribute something.

I agree with 1 & 2 but not with 3. I think it would be better like that:
