Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments.

Only the first thirty (30) valid submissions received will be accepted.

Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 250K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.

Please do not use frames, except for a 1 or 2 pixel black frame to define white backgrounds.

The contest host may alter the written rules at the beginning of their contest, and is the final arbiter of the rules and any issues that may arise.

The contest host may not enter their own photo contest, but may choose the theme in any manner they decide.

The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest). For seasonal contests, winner agrees to be host the next seasonal contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest).

GOOD LUCK!

*Note, I actually prefer the blind contest. However, doing this on vacation would make that too tough. We will do the traditional submission instead.
