Thanks for the input Alan.
The contests have always existed as far as I know and have always been fun to do for all levels of expertise.
There's nothing to win or for that matter to loose...
There's no pressure to participate nor vote but as a community forum you would expect more commitment from our members...
The free Photoshop requests section exists to give members the opportunity to practice their PS skills.
Why not participating in the challenges to show off their skills?
As for the visibility, when I joined I explored the whole forum wanting to know what it was.
I started by reading the rules...
You have no idea how many times we see a 'new' members registering and going straight to the free or paid requests section to ask for an edit or to do edits and that's it.
That's not what PSG is.
It's a place for people to explore the possibilities of Photoshop and exchange ideas and techniques, to ask advice and/or show off their work and receiving feedback, to engage in friendly banter...
Doing free and/or paid requests is a part of it, but participating in the community as in the challenges also...
