PFRE Idol Awards

PFRE Idol Award and Selection Process
The PFRE idol is chosen by a vote of their peers. Winners will receive:
- A link on the front page of PFRE blog (on the left side-bar under “PFRE Idols”.
- A 1 year REP directory registration or renewal.
- A PFRE post featuring the photographer and their work.
- A PFRE Idol award logo to display on their site or marketing materials.
Here’s how the process will work:
- Any PFRE flickr group member can nominate themselves by posting images to the monthly PFRE Idol discussion thread.
- Contestants for a month are limited to the first 5 group members to post an initial photo for review.
- Each week, each of the 5 contestants will post a required (see below) photo on the PFRE Idol thread (everything for a given month is done on the same discussion thread). Wk#1: A front shot, Wk#2: A kitchen shot, Wk#3: A living room or great-room shot, Wk#4: A bathroom shot and for 5 week months Wk#5: A master bedroom shot.
- At any time during the month PFRE flickr members are encouraged to discuss contestants posted work in the idol thread.
- On the last 48 hours of the month Larry will put up a Poll for the 5 contestants on the front page of the PFRE blog so everyone can participate in selecting the PFRE Idol.

Larry,
I think this is a great idea. I’ve thought about proposing the same thing. Competition brings out the best in all of us.

Larry,
Good idea. I do have a quick comment. By simple majority I’m assuming you mean “more ballots cast for a nominee than for any other”. In the US simple majority mean getting 50+% of the votes.

Cape Girardeau - Yes, I mean just more votes than anyone else… I fixed that in the text above. Thanks for pointing that out.

Larry,
what is the cut-off date/day in each month for nomnations? and how long after this will the PFRE POTM be listed?
By the way - nice idea.
Regards
Andrew

As for a time line how about generally:
1-Nomination cut off last day of the month before the award month
2-Voting the first 7 days of the award month
3-Announcement 8th day of the month
