January Contest Rules
Only one entry per person.
You need to post your entry in this submission thread started by the contest host. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post.
This submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments, no questions. The Host will start a separate thread just for comments and questions.
Photos entered into previous contests are allowed. However, no previous winning photos can be entered again.
Any amount of post processing is allowed. However, the preference is for the photo to still look like a photo.
The photographer's ID will not be attached to the photos in the polls. However, this submission thread is open to the public. Thus your ID can be found.
Please keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 500K in file size. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask. Since DU resizes larger images down to a smaller viewing size, uploading large photos is a waste of time and space.
The Host is the final authority in their contests.
Submissions will be limited to 30 entries maximum unless the Photography Group votes to change the limits.
The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest), and pick the next month's theme. The host of the monthly contest cannot enter the contest they are hosting.
The Submission & Comment threads will be posted in the Photography Group. The Preliminary polls and Final Contest poll will be posted in GD per Skinner’s permission.
Submissions start Jan 16.
Preliminary voting to start around Jan 22
Final voting to end around Jan 28
