01. Shall we organise contest/lucky draws for our members or is that a waste of time?
Contests/lucky draws are a good way to pull in new members. AQ should always have it from time to time, if possible.
02. Are the prizes unattractive? If so, what suggestions do you have?
For a small/regular contest that does not require much to get started, the prizes look justified.
03. Are the type of contests boring?
No. Really.
04. "There are only so few prizes, I'll never win" mentality?
Personally, I didn't enter to win. All I had was time and a camera, so snapping was natural. I really don't know what the rest of the 400+ regulars are thinking though...
05. What kind of contests would you guys like to see in the future?
I still think aquascaping and photography type contests go hand in hand. It's a great idea.
Perhaps there are people who want to enter but do not have the time. There may also be forumers who lack the skills/equipment to do so. I do know that most of the photographers here are either staff or moderators of AQ and that you guys can't enter?
Anyway, this was a good attempt and you really shouldn't be disappointed over a minor setback. Wait for more responses and evaluate the various possible causes. Cheers!
