Poster and lamp from French car boot sales last weekend, shirts in hypermarket sale today, possibilities for matching bow ties from collection.
 
I have to say i don't like the idea. 'Good' art is rarely popular art, and the previous winner always took on the job of judging sine it was one man's opinion, and, like me last month, sometimes you just can't get a pic in until later and etc etc .
Still if everyone want's it? W hat about, if it's a populist thing, putting a note into off topic a day or two before closing day encouraging ALL wammers to come and like as many as they like?
At least then it will be genuinely unbiased and might encourage a few more snappers to post?

Just a standard line inserted as a topic in off topic viz:

'Latest photo comp closing. Come and vote please'?

It does have advantages though. I realised towards the end of this comp that the last thing I needed was to have to dream up another, take flak for the subject I had chosen, wait three weeks for the first entrant then cajole everyone else into submitting their photo (several times)... so I reduced my chances by voting against myself. My first ever ‘like’! Wear it proudly, Paulski!
