joechip, I want to explain to you the following: A challenge is not a contest. We have each month a challenge here at our Vue forum which is what it says: a challenge for Vue users in creating images with Vue. In the past years, there was only one contest per year. The difference between a challenge and a contest is, that for a contest there are prizes to win. I have organized 2 big contests last year, in September and October. It is a very long work to do a contest, because I have to write "around" to get the prizes, then to organize with the administrators and also to manage it. You will understand that I cannot do it more often. Without my little Renderosity job, I'm also doing a regular work. In fact I run the forum. But this doesn't mean that I decide every thing alone. Happy when users participate. I don't understand, why you seem a bit angry? Maybe you could tell me? I would appreciate:-) Guitta
