OK here we go..!
On Wednesday of this week, I'll put up a thread in one of the forums (probably this - the general forum) asking for pics during October for the November Parker of the Month.. I'll close that thread on or about October 25 for photo submissions, and then open it for voting for the last week.... This should be fun - and again, my thanks to all of you...!! John |

Sounds like fun.
So, as I understand it, those posting pictures are encouraged to be creative in the setting of the gun with an appropriate background, e.g., birds, split-rail fences, barnsides or whatever helps to set the mood, right? |

HAH! In short - YES!!!! In fact - I was just working on the rules for the first post.. Here is what I'm thinking...????
DRAFT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY!!!!! All who are registered to the Parker Forums are encouraged to participate in the "Parker of the Month" contest! The Ground rules are simple..... Please post up to FIVE of YOUR (sorry - they MUST BE YOUR PHOTOS!) pictures in this thread. Near the end of this month, I will close this thread - and add the pictures from this thread into a NEW thread, so folks can VOTE for the "Parker of the month".... The winning picture will appear on the opening page of: http://parkerguns.org for the next month. We encourage you to enter even if you only have one photo that you like, as folks will be looking for "that Parker Quailty" that defines "Why we do this", so that one photo could be a winning photo. Those my be of a Parker, hunting scene with a Parker, still-life or even an action shot. Members may comment on the photo entries in the photo contest thread and leave nice comments about other images in the thread if you feel the urge to do so. BUT - please do not post any photos that are not intended to be entries. Pictures NOT posted as entries will be deleted from the thread..... Editing rule: Altered Images—Photographs manipulated for artistic purposes by applying digital and/or traditional special effects (i.e. hand coloring, toning, bleaching, collage and photo composites, etc.) are accepted. In short - "show us what you got" - BUT - the Parker Shotgun must remain "as is" (sorry, you can't make your Trojan an "A-1" with photoshop, if you know what I mean  ) Occasionally, some member(s) or organization(s) may donate prizes for the monthly contest. These will be announced in the appropriate month's thread. All votes and prize winners will be final - SO WAIT UNTIL THE VOTING THREAD to "express your opinion "I'll vote for that" ""By entering, participants grant permission for their winning photos to be used as an main photo on the PGCA Website, Calendar (with attribution - of course) and maybe other areas of the PGCA site.... That is all...  John |

Hi David!
My thanks!!! I agree that themes would be a terrific idea - but, I don't know what to expect for numbers submitted? So, my fear is - if we start doing "themes" at the start, we might only have a couple of photo submissions per month, especially on rarer Parkers? Just my thought? That being said - if it become wildly popular, then the themes idea would certainly be successful..! David, my thanks again! John |
