A lot of forums do this, and I think we have enough members with REALLY nice pictures to be able to do it too.
So, how about a photo contest?
Say, each month we could pick a category and everyone would post one picture that fit that category. We could then create a poll where everyone would vote for the picture they liked the best. Everyone would only be able to vote once. Unless we make the poll open (say, everyone writes in that thread which picture they vote for), we couldn't exclude votings for people's own picture, but probably there would be fewer participants than voters anyway, so it's not like everyone would vote for their picture and the poll ends in a draw/tie.
Anyway, some categories I thought would be interesting would be: 1) Action! 2) On point 3) The Regal Weimaraner 4) Funniest expression 5) Funniest posture/position 6) Just cute 7) Best head shot/portrait 8) Seasons (autumn, winter, spring, summer) 9) The Friendly Weimaraner (pictured with other animals or people) and a lot more, whatever you all can come up with....
Hope these make sense, but if not, I can explain what I mean by them.
So what does everyone think? Every month's winner could be featured in the board's banner, with the name and details and anything else (website etc.).

OK, can we start then? Let's say, we start a new topic titled November Photo Contest, and give everyone 10 days to enter their pics (one per member). Then the entries close and we start voting. Would 5 days be enough? That way the winner's picture could be displayed for at least half of November.
For the December contest, we can start earlier, say, start submitting pictures around the 15th of November, give it 10 days, then give 5 days for voting, and the winning picture would be up on Dec 1st.
Does this make sense? We can always change the rules as we go on.
Whoever posts the next can pick out any subject for the November contest! (Just so we can get started somewhere)

Good idea Irena. I'd say hunting pics for the next month and someone else can pick the subject for the coming month.

Okies!!!! GREAT idea!!! Hunting pics it is!! And how about we let the winner then choose the subject of the next month's contest? And, I personally think I don't mind if the dog in the picture belongs to someone else, as long as the poster is the author or owner of the picture?
I'm off to start a new topic then.
