IanB 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 If we run an article competition would many be interested to submit there hunting articles of choice....? Prize maybe a lightforce lamp or deerhunter jacket? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 2 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sounds intresting but how would it be judged?I would expect popularity/fame of article writer would win votes over article quality and content. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 You could be right kane, you know what people are like they sort of follow the crowd....I'd be voting for the most interesting and entertaining, be your own thats the best way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 30 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sounds intresting but how would it be judged?I would expect popularity/fame of article writer would win votes over article quality and content. The writer would have to write under an alias/pen name i would assume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Not decided yet mac, do you think it would be better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mac 30 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 As kane stated I would expect popularity/fame of article writer would win votes over article quality and content. To over come this the person(s) contributing articles could write under unfamiliar pen names for a level of unbiased votes. Just so the article is the marked/scored accordingly (content) and not the familiar or popular name attached. JMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MOLLY Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Why not make people email their articles to Ian, then he can just number them and put them on the forum for people to read and decide? People must also make sure for fairness they dont include names of their dogs, locality etc. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john b 38 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Sounds like fun. How about a few categories so we can prompt peoples thinking; - Instructive; articles on how to do something (e.g. snaring) - Narrative; relating a story or incident - Factual; articles about something (e.g. the history of Plummers) - any others ? Winner in each category and then overall winner get's the prize ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 They could email articles to ian under false names...he could post them and then everyone could vote on which is the best.....ony one vote per person though.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 2 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ill start writing now as i think im in with a good chance.. :whistle: ..On a more sensible note i dont think accomplished Author's should be allowed to enter just so the novice's will have a chance.. .. Millet They could email articles to ian under false names...he could post them and then everyone could vote on which is the best.....ony one vote per person though.... I think all should be welcome famous or not, emailed to IanB then numbered sounds good.Perhaps the more famous lol could give a bit of advice on how to set about constructing an article,structure etc. Perhaps a seperate competition for those under 15 or 16. I always like to see a few pics but that might give the identity away perhaps pics could be added later . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
