Save or scrap JOTM

[Concrete guy]

How about making it Job of the Quarter? That gives a 12 weeks period for entries.

You may be getting low entries as 4 weeks isn't a huge timespan to get multiple jobs that multiple people are proud of.

Please keep JOTM. I like to see all the different styles,designs,prep work.

I say keep it. I do agree that some of the entries are clearly a "team" effort rather than an individuals personal work, and the sheer scale and work that has gone into it puts others posting up a small splashback say for example.
Im not sure how it could be improved really. I dont feel a quarterly or yearly thing will work, nor will a monthly one where the images are all kept until judging time. Maybe as well as having a JOTY, we could run a JOTQ with a top prize for the winner of each quarter as well as the year. I cant believe despite me throwing in a run of the mill bathroom refit last month to boost numbers that there was only 3 of us who entered......and Dan was offering 500 notes as well :mad2:

I say keep JOTM. Also a few good points raised by other members about modyfying to include other aspects.
I would have entered JOTM if i remembered to take a picture of the days date.
Also winning to me is better than receiving a prize.

When I won JOTM - back in the days when it was for kudos only ( and my wife thought we could spend them in Greece!) it was an honour for over 1000 views to have inspected my work. Having won once after 2nd place 3 times I gave up having reached my goal but it's now time to get back into winning way, but only if that bloke Dave starts to enter!
The new trial entry method sounds good from Dan - so lets hope the support is there.

Just changed the style of submissions so you don't get to see them until we're ready to vote, just in case somebody posts and awesome job, which puts others off adding theirs.
Also sent out two emails about it, one explaining the change, and one encouraging submissions.

See if that works?
