Hi Everyone,
It's me again with the same plea I made a few months back:
"Recently we had a poll to select our IOW for the week of March 14 - 20th. We had 17 outstanding images that our members contributed. Just as impressive was the number of people who took the time to cast their vote to help decide the outcome. It is this kind of active involvement that makes PSE&M a place that people like to visit. We may not be a large forum but our members know and depend upon the support they receive here. We are also about having fun and encouraging each other. So with that in mind, I ask you to once again think about joining the judges' team. We are a small group of volunteers. If you voted in the poll, and even if you didn't, you are qualified to join. We all know that art is subjective. What appeals to one person may not necessarily be the choice of someone else. I think we all recognize that and respect each others choices.
I know everyone is busy so you may be wondering what the commitment is....what exactly do I have to do? Basically, you use the search to see the images posted during the last week. From that list you choose the images you want to recognize. Then you create a thread sharing your choices with the rest of the PSE&M community. There is a special Judges Forum with more detailed directions and places to practice before posting if you would like to do that. How often your turn comes up depends upon the number of judges. If there are 15 judges....your turn comes up once in 15 weeks. When once you do it, I think you will find that it is a rather painless process and one that will end up enjoying. So, if you've decided to give this a try please respond to this post or send me a PM."
Only difference is that this time we had 18 images and 24 voters. Twenty four voters.....that's wonderful, but do you realize that we have only half that number of weekly judges? For IOW to continue we need more people to come forward to take a turn at judging. If you have been thinking about this, now is the time to give it a try. Please add your name below and ask any questions you might have.
