Denton;

Thanks, I just visited the Contax photo contest.  Pretty interesting.  

I think it would be great for us to do something similar.  Contax
apparently has one every month and each contest is themed.  May's theme
was 'faces'.

I'd like to keep the ball rolling on this thread and ask for opinions on
how we might do this?

My opinions?
* One per month may be too much to handle at first, logistically.
Someone said once a quarter, I would even go for every other month.
* I do lean in favor of 'themes' as I think it makes it easier to 'vote'
for an entry in the context of a theme.
* All entries should identify camera and lens used. Film, aperture and
shutter if possible.
* Someone mentioned about using non-Zuikos. I have mixed emotions on
this one.  I suppose if the offending 3rd party lens has not yet fallen
apart :>) and was mounted on an Olympus camera we could allow it.  Maybe
take some points away though? :>)
* The Contax folk apparently have their own **website** as well as
mailing list. Shawn has been pretty much out of touch lately and
apparently is real busy.  I don't have much free time myself, but I do
have a website with plenty of free space.  I may be able to setup a
quickie subpage for this purpose and run this thing for a while if there
are no other takers. 
* How about prizes?  I think Gary Schloss should send each winner
something from his collection of Olympus goodies. :>) (Just kidding
about prizes)
