----------------------------------
----------------------------------
The rules are simple:
-You must be the photographer
-One entry per month
-Try making it an image from the last year.


Voting:
- Vote for your top 3
- No voting for yourself


And if you are the winner one month ... you're in charge the month after the next. For example ... if you win in January, you're in charge of March. If you win in April, you're in charge of June.
You pick the theme, you count the votes, you announce the new winner.

Second and third most votes = Honorable Mentions

Machka 

Added December's thread ... and will start links to the 2015 photo contests when they start.

c0urt

Omg I won one

Think it means no one else entered that month

Machka 

Photo thread for January 2015 ...


Just a suggestion, but perhaps since jdon's daughter chose the theme "joy" for December, kaminokaze could pick the theme for January and start the thread??

clemsongirl 

we wrote about that in the end of the november thread...

from kaminokaze "Lets make it "Water" weather it be Wet or Snow. I think in Jan. we need to include both."

if kaminokaze doesn't post and start it why don't you

Machka 

@Kaminokaze ... would you like to start January's thread with your theme of "water"?

Machka 

Added the January 2015 photo thread.

Machka 

A question ... how did we decide to count votes? I know this was discussed in another thread, but I'm not sure what the outcome was.

(And of course, we don't vote for ourselves. )

clemsongirl 

but but but what about fraction votes********************??

isn't your first one the way it's always been done.....or we could also just leave it to whoever is doing that months theme(although that's been iffy to even get a thread posted by the winner)....or we could have the same person (maybe YOU) run the thread each month and have the voting be whatever you want!!!!
