For all it's worth, here's my
It's a "shame" that the competition appears to be more of a "beauty" contest, but as the powers that be have said, it encompasses women from all areas. Having looked at the suggestions for other competitions, I can understand the problem with coming up with things that aren't just weekly photo competitions.
However.... I understand the feelings of "should I drop out"... It's a long competition... but honestly, I think that anyone that sticks it out to the end, putting up with all the GFY crap etc. DESERVES to win, even if it means 10 weeks of just photo. The contest isn't meant to make a "statement" about women in this biz. Nor is the contest going to change all the misogynist neanderthals on here. So go with it. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PRIZES...
Has anyone really had a look at who's left?? I'm impressed that a lot of the women left are ones that I see posting here on a regular basis. And that's what GFY is about and what a Miss GFY should be in my opinion.
PS. Surpringly, seeing some of the posts, photo creativity etc. in this contest HAS made me respect some of the women in the competition more than I did before. Take that for what its worth.
