Dove Contest - Take 1 (Need Feedback ASAP!!) - Page 20

Ghoulish Delight · 01-07-2008, 12:54 PM

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that as time goes on, the ones with actual effort put into them would start showing up. Even if it does mean there's more competition, it feels better to stand out in a crowd of quality than to simply be better than crap. And yours still stands out, T.

Putting aside my bias, I was particularly impressed by the "Dove Works For You" one (currently listed as 8th).

ETA: Gah, I can't believe there are still "cut together the provided stock footage and use the stock music" entries in the top 10! WTF people?!

Is that the one with the hands?

I've noticed some interesting things about the voting tallies. They don't appear to update in real time as I have noticed the vote tally on DP's submission not changing at all, even when I navigate away from her submission and then come back to it. Same for other submissions - not that I am giving them one star votes or anything.

I find it amusing that the one titled "Love Letter" focuses on the word "caress" which is Dove's competition.

I feel much better just being among the quality.

I think that's why Dove is mostly determining the winner, because you have idiots like "Vote for the Worst" and other jerks who like to throw competitions just to be jerks.

(Makes me want to bring along a group of people and go file complaints about those idiots at their jobs.)

Good eye!

I made sure to concentrate on luxury, because that's what Dove asked for - luxury. While a few of them are very good (like the hands one), they don't even touch on the luxury theme. I'm thinking that's where I might have an advantage.

I luxuriated in voting for you !!

The 'hands' one~

While I really do like it, I don't think it is appropriate. This is more of a body wash, right? I wouldn't be surprised if it were taken and used for a hand cream.

Can these things be copywrited? {is that the correct spelling, it looks funny....}

It is copyrighted by its very creation. However, I'm sure the contest rules grant Dove unlimited perpetual (and probably exclusive) license.
