@GrowDiaries, I was replying to a comment, just bringing context to the forefront of the discussion (mostly because a lot of members gripe and complain but don't want to get the full context or work on the problem/solution). I personally haven't really looked into the photo of the month contest, but can say that I view the monthly contests as a set of recurring contests. As far as the subjective nature of this contest in particular, I def understand. This is likely the hardest one to judge objectively (and further illustrates the pitfalls of other contests using image count as a metric...). Some things that are no-brainers would be like: a review of the images for AI use, a review for OC/reverse image searching, and a review for digital editing of material changes. We have seen some AI stuff, some non OC, and some edited stuff in winners circles from my understanding. Some other possible things would be like themed competitions (like finished flower, last week during flower, setup, and so on). Otherwise the subjectivity can get a little abstract IMO. That is all just generalities though. I think yall did great this month. Glad to see some EGC25 stuff winning other contests now. Cauli's picture is insane fr.
