It is not a popularity contest, which is why I ask that the submissions are not of pics that were recently posted on a thread.
The voting thread is typically posted the day after the submission due date. Each person is allowed one vote, then at the end of the voting period, I will announce who the winner (owner and beardie) is.
Anything related to the photo contest will always be sticky posts in the General forum.
The theme discussion thread will be entitled "*<month> Photo Competition Theme Discussion*".
The theme voting threads will be entitled "*<month> Photo Competition Theme Poll - Photoshop*" and "*<month> Photo Competition Theme Poll - Original*".
The submission post will be entitled "**<month> Photo Competition Submission Info**".
And finally, the photo voting threads will be entitled "**<month> Photo Competition - <theme>** .
