The winter contest is going to move through very quickly and will be over by the 10th of March.
By that time I will have hopefully received some submissions in my inbox (the first one has arrived already and I will post them in a batch and hope they will round out and fill up by the 15th when I want to start the preliminary threads.
By the time the 21st rolls around the preliminaries will have run their course, and we'll have had a few days rest til the finals, which I want to start on that day.
The winner will be announced on Sunday the 24th, leaving time to start the April contest and a search for or the revelation of the new theme.
HERE'S HOW TO PROCEED:
Send me the photo in a private message then I'm holding them til the 12th and post the submission thread.
A RECAP of a previous post of mine, for those newcomers who may not have seen it:
Other than that there are no restrictions of any kind.
I will even accept frames, and not balk on photo shopping or manipulation of any kind.
The idea is for you to show us something you find beautiful, or love, for whatever reason.
Give it a title of your choosing, I think it would be fine if it is personal in description or history or why you like it.
This will be a blind submission - you send the photo to me in the proper size in a pm, and I will post it in the contest. I will be the only person who knows whose photos they are, and I will, when it is all over, reveal every single originator in a separate thread in the photo forum.
So without further ado, remember your favorite and find it, or create it.
I'm honored that I get to run a contest and look forward to what you come up with. I have not done a blind one, or one in the new polling so please bear with me if I flub up. I'll do my best.
For new folks who have expressed interest, realize all of us help each other. You can write to me, or post here and ask questions to all. We love having you express interest and participate.
things are percolating.
I have 6 submissions already / this is going to be great fun.
to remind you.
We have 8 submission so far

(22,380 posts)The winter contest will be going on soon - and we'll be making an effort to get in the entries for the March contest.
Actually
there are 11 entries already. And frankly I'm thinking that I'll start posting them a little earlier than intended.
Maybe the 10th. Just so you see what's happening.
On the other hand, maybe I won't.
In a way seeing the favorites appear in a big batch may also be interesting.
The "Winter" contest is in the voting stage, so you can turn your attention to March submissions.
I have not had a new one in a while, so look for a favorite and send it to me.
Remember: 800 pixels the longest side, no larger than 300 kb, with a title and send it to my private mail box.
