I'd agree in general with you rainisto, however in this instance it might be the best action to take.

It's really no good to the competition to have allocated 4-6 prizes to a category if we can't get atleast the same amount of entries. It doesn't benefit us organising it or the folks taking part, I don't want to be in the situation were we have prizes not handed out. You can imagine the problems then of trying to assign whatever prizes is left over after the competition has ended amongst the other entries.. somehow. It would be a bickering match similar to the community awards So yep you're right it's not ideal to change categories, on the other hand it may still be the best course of action. It's still early in the competition, i don't think we'd be inconveniencing anyone too much at this early stage.

Right now we have 10 "Games, Graphics, and Multimedia" entries and 0 "Location and Navigation" entries. So playing out the scenario in our heads - if we split "Games" and merge "Location" with ".. Graphics and Multimedia".

• marmistrz and ivanph's entries (for example, sorry to pick on you guys ) are music related and could (if they agree) go into "Location, Graphics, and Multimedia". That would give:
  
• 8 in "Games"
  2 in "Location, Graphics, and Multimedia"
  
• All 10 entries have right away increased their chances of winning a prize as there's now less competition in their own category, the competition benefits as no category remains empty, and there's still a home for everyone who wants to take part..

It's win-win all round I think.

Ok that's understandable rainisto and fair enough And I'm pleased you'll be taking part, genuinely I'm looking forward to seeing what you have for us

At the same time, as you can see from the stuff at above, it's really helpful for us organising the competition to know if people are interested and which categories they are interested in. Right now the wiki table is the only way of doing that.

If there's anyone who hasn't added their entry because maybe they feel the application name gives too much information away (or they simply haven't thought of one yet) you can still register your interest in the wiki table. Even if all the details aren't complete yet it's helpful for us, for example

It's enough to let us know someone's planning to enter that category.

Right! My brain couldn't take the headache
