Hello all.
An idea by David Wien seemed to me to be really good, so we are going to try it out.
Post a photo in the relevant PoTM thread. Just one per post (so can have mulitple entries). Put any explanation you wish. If people like it, they click the 'like' button. Viewers can click more than one 'like' for different photos. You cannot like your own picture. If you do, that picture will be disqualified. No comments from others necessary. At the end of the month, we add up the likes and the winner has their picture displayed as a sticky thread for the following month for everyone to admire. If there is a draw, the judges (that's the admins) will decide - and they may decide on more than one.
If you have more than one photo, you can upload it in a new post in the same weekly thread. If you don't win one week, you can post the same picture in another month's thread.
The competition will close on the last day of the week (Sunday) in order to give us time to do the counting. Next week's will open as soon as the winner is announced.
I will open the October thread today, so you can start posting. Let's see how this goes.
Alan
