Prizes?

Since this is a contest are there prizes? I didn't see any listed on the website.

Contest

Wow, never seen someone with their own blog spot run a photo contest before...

Read the last line again:

I think this answers your question.

An interview?

Really?  An interview???   I would rather have a Dewey Button! 

An optional inteview?

@p51, you think An optional interview is the prize, doesn't sound like a prize to me.

@rick, I think you are showing your age with a Dewey Button, hmm I must resemble that remark.

Seriously, I actually

Seriously, I actually forwarded this to a friend who is really good with a camera. Though he would have a chance at a shekel or two, but an interview. Let me guess, the owner of the contest reserves all rights to photos entered....

Prize?

I never said I thought of it as a real prize, just noting that this was what a person got (or could get) from winning from the OP. I agree, it isn't much of a prize in my opinion (especially since I have been interviewed by CNN, PBS and History Channel back when I used to do historical consulting more often).

Ha Ha Ha

A contest.....I entered a photo contest on Facebook and a photo from my layout won a prize which was a $25.00 gift certificate at a very nice hobby shop.  I was pleased.

Now, if I wanted to get a great collection of great model railroad pictures that I could use anyway I wanted I could create a "contest" with a "prize?" like a Dewey Button (some are worth a few bucks).  Maybe I could take the pictures submitted and make a calendar that I could sell for a nice profit.  Sounds like a good way to get a great deal of valuable material without putting out much.  Of course, you don't have to enter the "contest' if you don't want to.  I'm just saying......

re: Prize?

Lee (@p51), I see, you were just pointing out what the prize might be.

@Rick, I probably wouldn't enter the contest anyway, too lazy, unless of course there was a worthwhile (too me) prize.

Prizes for model RR folks...

I remember a model train show I went to once where the door prizes were all really good but all were scale/gauge-specific. Not one person who won anything actually took the prizes. They all looked at whatever they'd won and said, "I don't model that scale/era/roadname/whatever" and walked away.

I had a sales table nearby so I got to see the massive look of disappointment on the faces of those manning the door prize table. They looked like someone told them Christmas was cancelled that year or something. You could tell they'd went to a lot of work getting the stuff and literally nobody wanted it. Finally, it dawned on them to offer the choice of whoever won when they came up. Totally turned it around and only a couple of small items nobody wanted were left (which they had expected) and the winners were all very happy.

As I left, I told them in the future they should limit it to modelling supplies, publications and the types of things most modelers wouldn't mind having. Never got back to that show as I moved away that fall, but I always wondered if they had done that later.
