***September's here and so is the Summer Contest! ***
It's time to think of how you see Summer. Is it sports, or holidays, food or family?
However you see Summer, now is the time to look over your photos and decide which is your best photo of this amazing time of year!
Here's the timeline:
Submissions to open next Sunday, September 10th.
Preliminary Polls will run from Sunday, September 17th. They will run for 72 hours.
The Final Poll will run from Wednesday, September 20th, also for 72 hours.
I am going to implement a very large change in how we do things. I am, for this contest only, waiving the rules on size limitations. AndyS ran a poll to see how the group feels about this, and the majority of the votes went to not enforcing the size limits. Therefore, there will be no rules regarding size.
This is an experiment to see how suspending this rule works out here in the real world. Let's not go crazy with huge files; whatever you see as normal will work.
After this contest is over, we should discuss how it went and how people feel about it. Remember, these contests are for fun and bragging rights! It would be great if we saw some new folks coming in to participate as well.
