Howdy, all.
Many of you are aware of the difficulties we've had in staffing the Create-a-Card competition these last few months. Judging has been coming more slowly when it comes at all, and until very recently our number of judges had been steadily dwindling.
We've also seen downturns in activity around both categories of the CaC lately; something that ––coupled with an increase in entries that are submitted very quickly or without much revision –– we attribute to the CaC becoming more routine and less of a novelty.
So we'll be changing things up a bit.
The CaC has been a monthly competition since its inception, but we (the judges) agree that the monthly format is no longer sustainable –– and that a more infrequent competition would serve to make things more exciting every round. Therefore, starting in October, the CaC will last for two months instead of one, with an extra month left vacant for judging purposes. Thus, there will be one CaC competition every quarter, or four per year.
Feel free to let us know your thoughts on the change, either via PM or in this thread. As always, we value your input. ^.^
