I, like you, enjoy seeing the competitions online and in the UK magazines. 
However, the online forums don't always share our tastes. Godfrey created 
the SeePhoto forum and I created the PAW forum after several of the forums 
voiced their dislike for posting photo announcements on the LEG and LUG. 
More recently, the SP forum has had some protracted discussions about the 
Salon feature. I don't think many of the camera-oriented forums would 
welcome a contest. The Contax G forum is an exception because, I assume, 
there's so little Contax G equipment to discuss.
