As of this moment - still not quite 1/4th of the way through the month - there are 21 unique individuals {and I'm guessing that @FozzFoster; has multiple tickets by now} entered for the "big ticket". So stay excited, and you can join that {small} crowd too.

I'm 71% there with 75% of the month left. I suspect lots of folks are in the same boat I'm in.

Actually - we are 'fortunate', this is a 31 day month, so we actually have more like 77% of the month left {keep rowing}.

I was excited when I got to 10 posts not realizing I needed 100 for the big ticket.

plenty of time to get there

lots of options:

lots of threads to examine and post in should you wish

contests to enter

or consider starting your own thread

I suggest certain subjects like "equivalence" and cheese should be considered cheating.

Who are paying for all these prizes? This is expensive gear to give away.

Omg the Ricoh GR III is exactly what I need for my next bike tour in Asia. Going out right now to make the best pictures of my life!

I asked myself the same thing 😁

Management of the Pentax Forums awards the 'gifts' - only @Adam; knows what their source(s) of income are;
our job is to post, receive the 'gifts', and be glad that he has decided to share.

All prizes are sponsored by PF this time. It's always nice to give back to the community!

Would “cheese equivalence” be too much?

Hey don't take away my ray of hope to ever reaching a 100 posts (once)

You could post an arty photo of cheese...

Suggestions? This style of competition is really fair, in that anyone can win.

My suggestion, expressed previously, is to make likes received count in the point total, in order to encourage people who make fewer but valued contributions...

there is no theme:

Oh! At the very beginning of the month, it said portraits, did it not? I've never paid much attention to the contests, but maybe I should submit a shot. Seems unlikely one of my shots could win though...

likes are given for post which may or may not have photos

it is not knowable why a post gets a like

several of mine, I am sure, are given for comments which may be unique or funny

does that fit your definitions ?

portraits was the contest for September, I believe

AS of today, 1/3-rd of the way through the month, we have 275 tickets issued for the "General Raffle" and 40 individuals {perhaps a hundred tickets} issued for the "Grand Raffle" - no shortage at all in number of entrants into either 'raffle'.
