to be honest , i dont think its anything to do with "weeding out" the not so serious ,anyone with a camera taking a picture is taking it for a memory or to be creative ,why do you have to be serious to take photographs ?

I think the fee was probably to pay towards the prizes

as for me i think the whole competition was a compleat shambles ,especially having to pay for it ! no word about the judges for ages after the last photo could be enterd AND i also still think that people "voting" for other peoples pics DID have an influence ,especially the people with nice long "friends lists" on here lol



you got to laugh tho

The fee is a joke......there was no fee before, so why now?...I cant accept that it is to pay for the prizes. Surely sales from the magazine both as individual and subscriptions would have covered this.

You are right, the competition has become a shambles.....the decline in entrants speak for themselves........I was once a regular participant, now I couldn't care less.....
