Yeah fuck community building, amirite?

This kind of makes me want to run one for my work-area now. We have a community board nearby and I reckon I could offer $50 for the winner, $20 for runner up etc. I'd just let people use anything incl. phones and openly say that composition > pure image quality.
Might gauge interest first.

If you're good they'll flock to you. You only need contacts with key people. Either play big or go home. Start going to baking or knitting contests if "community building" is your goal.
