To all visitors to the portal CacciaPassione.com, for transparency and fairness, we have responded on the public site to some complaints received and considered insulting (criticism is something else, hidden behind the electronic means you feel omnipotent). We reiterate here that the rules in force in the photographic contest #FRANCHICONTEST are validly complied with. Ours is, and remains, an artistic competition and not one of Social skills, but we do not intend to enter into the merits, having to know the participants the selection criteria. Nobody denies the right to turn to whoever they think is.
For our part, this is the last message, believing that we have sufficiently dedicated time and patience to the grievances of a few <0,1% of the participants (out of 4329 participants in the Contest with 675 photos in the race). We remind you that the algorithm that extrapolates the general ranking that allowed the most voted photos on Social Networks to access the third and final phase under the Jury's scrutiny, includes all Social Networks: among the most used we mention WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter , LinkedIn, Tic Tic, and many others, known or less known.
Caccia Passione srl, in defense of its name and integrity, organizer of the competition of which Franchi is sponsor, in greater protection of the Contest participants and of the whole category that we feel we represent for 15 years, has carried out further extensive and documented investigations chaired in first person by the board of this journalistic editorial staff, as well as members of the jury, on the evaluation criteria for access to the third and final phase of evaluation and announcement of the winners. It should be noted that the jurors did not have access to the names of the owners of the photos and the scoring references when choosing the photographic literary artistic work, all in order not to influence the evaluation of the work that we feel we can confirm as the winner.
Despite the extraordinary success of the event, specifying that for years we have privately released free contests for artistic and literary works, precisely in order to enhance and promote the category of hunters, we wanted to release this press release, for the serenity of those who, in good or bad faith is not for us to say, it has misinterpreted the Regulations.
