The theme of the Seasonal contest is SpringThere were no special requirements for the photos submitted, except for the size to not exceed 800 pixels on the longest side.
Creative enhancements are allowed, but not required.
The top two vote getters in each thread will advance to the finals along with the next highest vote getters overall. Since there are not enough entries for 3 threads of 10 photos each, the finals will be one third of the 21 entries. There will be seven finalists determined by the top vote count. In case of ties for seventh place I will run all the photos involved in the tie in the finals.
The preliminaries will run from June 1 through June 3
The finals will run from June 4 through June June 6 and the winners will be announced over the weekend of June 7-8
Here are the links to the threads.
