Contest Entries? Hi All, Just curious how you keep track of what photos you've entered into contests. As we can only enter 1 photo a day, I find that I forget from month to month if a photo has been entered into a contest..... Thanks, Richard

BP tracks your current-month entries (viewable under your Member Center - BetterPhotos tab, Contest Entries link on left)---some folks will print or screen-grab that full screen on the last day of every month, to record what their entries were for that month---that screen resets to empty, midnight PST on the last night of the month. I keep a simple spreadsheet of my entries as I make them; image name, category I chose, the month/year I entered it. Also record whatever the contest outcome was for each entry (EP, Finalist or Winner) so I can easily look for favorites that didn't go anywhere the first time around, that might become re-submit candidates in another future month's contest.

Hi Richard, I date each photo. I put the title and than the date and it make's it easy to keep track of what you put up for the month.

Since they are keeping records of the current month, you need to keep your own record of the month that they are working on (last month)..I keep a tablet next to my computer and write in the title and category next to the date. That way I have it at a glance. I put a little red mark next to whatever gets an EP so I'll know what needs to be resumbitted (or tossed into the archives, whichever).

After entering my last image for the month, I go to the entry page and copy and paste it into an email to myself. I have a folder in my email that I keep these in. the advantage of this is that the images paste as hyperlinks, so I can easily go back and look at any of the images.

My Membership > My Entries .... I copy the box with the thumb and photo id. I then paste it into the current document I have linked to my desktop. Because of Cheri's monthly EFP thread, I also use it to highlight the ones which receive an EP.
