Contest 07/2017: BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES

[Janina]

[Till]

To be honest, I kinda have a problem with the new concept.

I personally try to keep my Facebook page as "clean" as possible. Meaning, I almost never share anything, I like almost nothing besides pages I want to get news from. Actually, I would probably delete my facebook account if it wasn't the best way to stay up to date with some stuff. For me, it is more of a music news site rather than a social Network. Why I do this? I don't want to annoy my friends with the things I do online, and I don't want to over-share as well.
So, to make it short, I wouldn't vote for pictures on facebook. And I do believe I'm not the only one by far who feels like this.

I'm kinda with Till on this one, I also rarely use facebook, and only for university stuff...

In the this was mentioned, but unfortunately nobody (including me) came up with a better alternative to Facebook. So this is why the vote ended up there. It is easy to include and has a potential promotion effect no other voting system has.

I searched for a simple gallery plugin that would allow the combination of Facebook likes and "non Facebook likes", but did not find any. So I will try Facebook now to see how the SP-Studio Facebook community reacts to a contest. It might end in a desaster if only few people vote or the result is totally bizarre due to "I have friends who vote for me" behaviour. Then I will go back to a website based voting system. But if Facebook can attract a wider audience with new people who want to participate in the contests this is a big chance I don't want to miss.

But of course I won't forget the loyal community we have here. So no matter how the Facebook vote will turn out, I will try my best to add an independent way to vote next month. Either in combination with Facebook likes (if they work well) or as a substitute for Facebook (if it won't work at all).

By the way: I never vote in Facebook contests, so I understand you. But I notice many other people do, and so I am curious how this will turn out.

15 submissions so far.
9 are SP-Studio pictures.
2 are fitting for the contest.
(1 porn pic which is less than expected)

So I guess I should write the contest topic in huge red letters IN the submission form.

[Eggyslav]

OK, I'm in, is my pic ok?

[Janina]

Yes
From the known faces Zawesome and Eggy have submitted so far. And a new one.

[Jetpack-guy]

That should be me in.

[Janina]

Yes, so far the new upload system seems to work well. And we have 12 legit entries.

I'm in but I forgot to use the 770x770px size...hope it isn't too bad...

[Janina]

No, it's not required. The picture can be shown in a bigger size now during the vote, so it's possible to use 770x770. ut you are not the only one who used the classic size.

18 entries so far.

I'm in. I hope the picture has been correctly uploaded.

[Janina]

Yes 2 days left for uploads.
