I have received a suggestion, which I think deserves recognition/consideration. The competition has been running for several years now, and I am aware the judging panel aren't Hua Hin/Thailand savvy. As an example, last week's competition contained, GLCQuantum, RTP, TAT and Som Tam - all of which would be meaningless to the panel. Additionally their perception of the Thai political situation/news will be different to ours.
I've been wondering what I could do about it for a long time. I once asked for a Thai judging panel. richard was the only volunteer, and he withdrew a couple of days later.
It has been suggested that we have a guest judge each week. In principal I like the idea. Obviously the guest judge wouldn't be able to participate in the previous week's competition - I would notify the next judge in ample time.
If anybody is interested in being a guest judge, please PM me. I will compile a list (in the order I receive PMs). I would mail a judging sheet (using the e-mail address held on the users profile) to the judge on a Thursday evening, which I would expect to be completed and returned within 24 hours to enable me to announce the result.
I wouldn't sack the current judging panel immediately . I would alternate for a few months until I was sure the new regime was working.
So, if any of you guys are interested, PM your details - I would expect to start the new system in about a month's time.
WHATEVER HAPPENS, DON'T FORGET, IT'S JUST FOR FUN, AND THE JUDGE'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL.
[BB - you mean one judge instead of the panel, just to account for the rare Hua Hin reference? Or a 'guest' judge to be part of the panel? As you said recently, if it ain't broke...]

Yes. It's not broken, but I'm open to suggestions, and I think this one is worth a try. As I said

Why not just have the guy who selects the picture (who I believe is last week's winner) select the winning entry?

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.
