I don't mean to sound harsh, please don't get me wrong...
But I don't quite understand why you're trying so hard to get people to participate here when they don't seem to be overly interested. And instead of starting it yourself (as some people have already suggested), you're just putting a (kind of weird) photo montage in here which gives the impression you don't take it seriously yourself.
Again, no offence, just trying to give some possible reasons for the lack of interest.
As for me, I'm very sensible with exposing personal data such as pictures of myself. There's already so much data being collected simply by using search engines or social media, so I don't wish to give away even more without a good reason.
I see your point and it makes perfect sense.
having 18 positive replies made me think that there will be participation so I was under the impression that this would have at least 18 photos.
putting a photo of myself is not a problem, but why since this is a contest organised by me and I also set the prize.
but your point is correct and thank you.
so I end this “contest” and everyone who participated gets a hoodie.
the least I can do in order to honour the ones who posted their photos.
And i got to admit that I have to apologise for the weirdness.
will conclude with another post thanking the participants later on and giving instructions on how they will receive their hoodie made from the person that Gaz suggested.
