If you are inclined... Feel free to visit my entry in this photographic competition and click on "vote for me" up the top.

You may vote once a day, for another 2 weeks or so. Yeah, I'm desperate...

I am seeing this with increasing regularity across forums - soliciting likes, votes, thumbs up etc for images in competitions. Is this ethical?

Adam, i am not by any means trying to tarnish your character here and if you want I can start a new thread on this topic..

No, it's cool.
I made the topic title perfectly clear what it was about, so it was entirely discretional for anyone whether or not they bothered looking. I very much doubt my chances anyhow, but thought people might be interested to take a look.
If it's against forum rules (which I didn't take the time to read again before posting this) and I am disciplined as a consequence, so be it.
If it should be against forum rules, perhaps that's something for another topic to discuss.

What, you mean you wouldn't have appreciated one of these?







I digress....

If you need to ask that question (either from others or to yourself) then it probably is un-ethical. YMMV.

I've voted however....

In saying that, if you didn't ask people to vote for you, how would they know to look in that site?

I think that is the point.

I'm happy to be notified like this - whether I then vote for Adam, or vote for someone else, or not vote at all, is up to me.

I don't see anything unethical about it.

Unethical if you paid us!

However I am open to offers

Nice shots BTW.

While I'm a bit sheepish to offer it among the talent on this forum, best I can offer is a desktop wallpaper image?
I wasn't going to release those (and more to come) images until I had the new website up & running, but it's taking too long...

Thanks to all who voted (and continue to vote)

A quick note to say that voting finishes on Friday.
Cheers & thanks!

I voted for two reasons;

1. You are a fellow Tasmanian.
2. The photos you entered are really nice and I like them.

So there!!!!!
