Competition with more effort

ejmi

Firstly huge thanks for you all who posting the competition's! Great work!

I was trying many times but no luck yet. I'm feeling that I'm not very lucky in a comps which needed only writing a postal details and answer some obvious questions and I'm wasting my time this way .
I won few things in my life but always in comps which needed some more effort like draw sth, take a photo or write some sentence/rhyme/story etc. I feel that I can get more this way, but obviously finding this kind of comps can be also tricky. Therefore maybe it will be possible to create separate category with comps needed some more effort? What do you think?

Most regular posters will put "Effort" or "Photo" or "Tiebreaker" in the title of the comp (if there is space to do so) purely so that compers can avoid them or click on them according to their preferences.

These are searchable - use Advanced Search and select Search Titles Only rather than Search Entire Posts

It is generally preferable to avoid separate categories as much as possible. Posters fail to follow or are unaware of the rules when posting, and people wanting to enter can't find them as the forum gets split up. It also leads to a lot of work for the Board Guides having to edit titles and move comps around.

There are very few that require a real effort as they not only attract far fewer entries which makes them less effective as a promotional tool than a simple to enter competition, it is also more time consuming for the promoter to follow the ASA rules to select a winner rather than just have a random selection process (which is why some "effort" competitions state winners will be selected at random - keeps the number of entrants up and life simple for the promoter)
