hi guys,
i would like to add my opinion to what has been a up and down sort of thread
firstly, i would not have known about the exhibition if i had not read it on here,
secondly, if i had have entered and someone had taken photos of my stuff and
thought that they were good enough to comment on and add photos to the forum
i would be over the moon and very honored i think,
i really don't know what the fuss is all about
just my 2 bob's worth
cheers smiife

Addendum re photos.
After the spirited discussion on whether photos could be posted here, and if so before, during or after the exhibition I have asked the committee for clarification on this matter.
The advice I received is that the committee is very happy for photos to be posted, not only after the event, but also during the event, for any publicity and interest they may generate will benefit the exhibition. This approval is not only for previous years but ongoing as well.
I trust that satisfies those posters who felt it was wrong to post photos on the opening day of the exhibition. I hope to be able to post my impressions of this coming exhibition again for the benefit of those who are not able to attend because of the tyranny of distances involved.
Peter.

Peter, being one that was strongly opposed to the posting of photos during the exhibition I can accept the committee's decision. I may not agree with it but if that is what they have decided then so be it. Hopefully the committee will make a more formal statement.
As an interstate entrant it would be nice if the committee makes an attempt to post results earlier so that competitors from interstate can be informed about how they fared without seeing it posted by others somewhere online before they know themselves. It sort of takes the gloss off your acheivements in that situation & by permitting others to post photos online during the exhibition only adds to the confusion.
I'm still a little confused as to what results I actually acheived in last year's AWTEX but I accept the results posted online in "2013 Results Final". I was told one story by a person who knows me & saw my work at AWTEX; another by a committee member who went out of his way to tell me & I sincerely appreciate that; but both were different to what is posted on the AWTEX site and I did not receive all the certificates for what was posted on line. Hopefully I'm the only one in that situation.
The reality is it is very difficult to stop others posting online these days without banning photography all together - and committee members probably do not want that to happen.
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of the volunteer committee in doing an excellent job running the exhibition and competition and in promoting woodturning. Its difficult to cover all bases for them including managing social media.

Sorry, but I can't comment on this as I'm not part of the committee. Late last year I enquired re posting of the photos and today, at our woodturning club meeting, I was told it was okay.
However if you don't like photos of your entries to be posted, please pm me your name and I'll make sure I'll comply with your wishes.
Peter.

Peter, if the committee has given its approval then its OK with me to post photos of my work. From the entry conditions - "The Committee > reserves the right to photograph exhibits and publish or otherwise display those photographs for promotional or educational purposes." As I have said before I do not believe that implied consent extends to others though. Its an interesting copyright situation but if you choose to enter the comp, then you play by the rules and accept them or don't enter.
Hughie I would strongly encourage you to enter your work. You may not qualify for student, & as a first time entrant you could probably enter novice, but you may be selling yourself short there.
