***Announcing our December Contest Theme & Timeline ***

"Autumn" is this month's theme. Whatever Autumn means to you.

December can be a very busy time so it's important that this contest is
finished before the holiday.

Timeline:
Submissions: December 9th to December 16th.
Preliminary polls in GD: December 17th through the 19th.
Final poll in GD: As soon as possible after preliminaries are concluded.

To begin with there will be one entry per member, however if our target of 30 submissions has not been met by the end of day December 14th, there could be
a call for second entries, so keep one handy! Only if necessary, I might submit an entry of my own, to reach the goal of 30. All entries must be your original work, and not have been entered before in any of our photo contests.

We'll hope for great results. May the Photo-Force be with you!
