Photo must be an original work, taken & processed entirely by yourself.
Digital post processing is allowed, again providing it's all your own work.
Doesn't matter when it was taken, though it is encouraged that you try to take a new pic to fit the monthly theme.
Entry/Voting
All entries must be submitted by the 25th of month (UK time).
You can post as many photos as you like providing they fit the monthly theme, but you must nominate one as your final entry
If multiple photos are posted but no single entry is nominated then the last photo posted will count as your entry by default.
Choosing a winner
By the 27th, the winner of the previous comp will choose a shortlist of up to 5 top photos (Minimum 2).
These top entries will be made into a forum poll, active until the end of the month.
The monthly winner will be chosen by the highest vote on the poll.
In the event of a tie, the previous winner has the casting vote.
Winner picks the theme for next month (admin to create new thread).
If the winner hasn't picked a new topic within 3 days then moderators will choose a new topic.
Misc
Each monthly competition will have it's own thread, which will be created by a moderator for editing later / adding poll etc.
Please keep the monthly thread on-topic, for entries and discussion of the monthly theme ONLY.
Any off-topic posts will be removed by the moderators.
We've got these competitions in the spirit of encouraging us to get out and take better photos, so, let's try and keep that in mind and keep these competitions all about having fun, being creative and improving our photographic skills eh?
