T-comm Discord Fall 2021 Photo Challenge!



About

Welcome to the TransLink fall photo challenge!

The concept: this fall, go out and get the best picture you can of a bus on each route in the system. The best photo from each route will win, for that route!

Please read the rules first before you submit.

Accepted route numbers:

  • The number of the route - examples: 8, 99, 323, R4, N22 etc
  • Includes WVMT routes, Nightbus routes, RapidBus routes and the 66 FVX
  • Only includes routes that are active this fall, summer only routes and old routes are not included
  • Skytrain - one of the following: "Expo Line", "Millennium Line", "Canada Line"
  • "West Coast Express" and "Seabus"

All submitted photos will be shown in galleries on this site, which will be up indefinitely. Please make sure you really want to submit a photo before doing so! If you need to remove a photo, let me (bumblesquash) know.

End of the photo challange & Category Results - Feb 6

Hello everyone. At long last, the challenge is over. You can check out the Category Results Page - it is updated with the results from voting on the best submission for various categories. There have been some winners there that didn't win in the route voting results, which is exciting.


There are some wonderful photos among the category winners/nominations, along with the winners of the regular results. It is cool to see just how much transit we have covered with all these photos, submitted by so many different people.


It was a lot of work to put this site together, but I think it was worth it and it turned out well. Hopefully it could be re-used for another challenge later... with a twist of course. Not too soon though. Bring up any ideas for future challenges in the discord - maybe we will see another one someday. I will leave this site up in the meantime for everyone to see.


Thanks to everyone for participating. It's been fun! - Bumblesquash

FIRST RESULTS - Dec 25

Merry Christmas! The Results page is up! It sure is fun to browse... but WARNING! It is all in one big page. Do NOT browse this page on a Cell Data connection unless you have lots to use. There is still work to do regarding resolving ties, though. Also, I might add more stats and info to the site as I have time. We'll see! I hope everyone had fun participating in this thing. Enjoy the rest of your holidays!

Dec 23

Voting is now closed! I'm working on displaying the results to everyone. I will have a new page with all the winners. Standby for that!

- Bumblesquash

Voting - Dec 4

Alright, it's voting time! Please see the voting instructions. Let me know if you need to have any submissions fixed right now!

- Bumblesquash

Update - Dec 1

And that's it! Submissions are closed now. I'm working on the voting pages, I'll post in discord when it's all ready. Thank you for the great photos! 661 in all...

- Bumblesquash

Update - Nov 26

It's the final weekend! The last day of the contest is Tuesday. Make sure to get all your submissions in by then. The contest has had a remarkable number of submissions so far, wow!

I am working on the voting system, but for now, I have also added support for including fleet numbers in your submission. We could even have some cool stats based on that after the fact. I have gone through and added fleet numbers to most submissions, and am working on the rest. Let me know if I did it wrong for yours! - Bumblesquash

Update - Nov 6

Less than a month to go! We're still missing submissions from 9 routes, take a look at the tables below to see what routes have lots of submissions and what route still have none!

Its really neat to see so many cool photos! Keep going everyone - I was out today, and the fall colours are fading away, but don't let that stop you. I'm thinking of adding some overall categories with categories like "most creative photo" - let us know what you think of that in the photo challenge channel on discord. - Bumblesquash

Submission Count by Route

See which routes have submissions, and how many! Red routes had no submissions, while blue routes got only one submission - this means that there can be no voting for that route since the only submission has won by default. Green routes need voting still!

Total submissions: 661, Total routes submitted: 219, Routes Left with no submissions: 9
