For me too it's a lack of time. I don't even browse the galleries as much as I used to:(. I do try and check the forums every now and then. Would it be possible to get a banner image (could be small) saying 'Bryce Challenge' or something that could used to link to the challenge each month when the new challenge goes up, that could be used to link to from other sites? I have a few Bryce related sites,   and I'd be happy to post an image to link to it there to help spread the word, even if I don't always participate myself.

I think that the presentation of  Rendrosity Challenges and Contests has some issues which is not helping people find the contests and enter - the contests and challenge page needs to be updated - if you look at it the Bryce one isn't even listed. Also, if you click the Challenge sticky post, in the Bryce forum, then the Challenge page link and then 'Entry Page'  you see January's challenge!...I find this offputting - the link to the current challenge should be easy to find, direct and should be put in the challenge post. Also, there's no deadline in the post... So personally speaking I don't think that helps the situation. Make it easy for people and they'll more likely enter.

I'm not sure I would agree there is  a slide in Bryce interest at the moment - now is a great idea to push all things Bryce as DAZ has recently given the software away free. I don't think it's any great assumption that this would have increased the Bryce user base and now's the time to rope them in!:)  I would like to be able to suggest making a post about the challenge each month over at the DAZ site in the forums over there but I think that'd be a bit cheeky...:biggrin:
