Related: About this forumSubmission thread *** December Contest*** "Animals - No Pets"
I'm copying this from the old, and bringing it into the new. I have 20 submissions already and saved them, and am looking for 10 more.The schedule (below) can't be kept because we have no ability to poll yet. As soon as we have it I will run the contest.
Please enter your photo and bear with me as the transition happens and everything becomes functional.

The schedule:
Submissions will run until 30 entries have been submitted or until Wednesday evening December 14.
Preliminaries will run from Thursday the 15th, am, to Saturday the 17th pm.
Finals will run from Sunday the 18th am to Tuesday the 20th pm.
Only one entry per person. You need to post your entry in the submission thread started by the host of a contest/challenge. Please be sure to include a "Title" for your photograph in the Subject line of your post. The submission thread is for photo entries only, no comments. The Host will usually start a separate thread just for comments.
Please keep your photograph entry no larger than 800 pixels in its longest dimension and under 200K in file size, unless otherwise designated by contest host. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing just ask.
Please do not use frames, except for a 1 or 2 pixel black frame to define white backgrounds.
Post-processing is permitted in the same tradition as processing techniques of print photography.
The contest host may alter the written rules at the beginning of their contest, and is the final arbiter of the rules and any issues that may arise.
The contest host may not enter their own photo contest, but may choose the theme in any manner they decide. (The quarterly seasonal contests are an exception to that rule, and the host may enter those contests.)
The winner of the contest agrees to host the next month's contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest). For seasonal contests, winner agrees to be host the next seasonal contest (or recruit someone else to host the contest).
Be sure to read the following before you enter a photograph:

(22,467 posts)We now have 30 entries, plus a spectacular 31st one from Behind the Aegis.
If the new polling has more options than the 10 of the old I will use this straggler in the contest.
Then entries in general have delighted me, and are a spectacular start for our new website's contests when it happens.
Stay tuned.

(8,039 posts)powers without permission. I did ask about locking the contest though so waiting for an answer. I do think people get the idea though.
Mira
(22,467 posts)Please, CC, lock this thread.
CC
(8,039 posts)Though was thinking about the host thing and contest, thinking we could make the contest host a host during their time.
Mira
(22,467 posts)the requests for locking and pinning and you could do it yourself.
Easy for me to say: my hosting days are numbered, I won't be entering again until next year.

(10,525 posts)In the rules on the About page it says :
# Lock thread (Reason not specified)
Locks a thread for an unspecified reason. An automatic notification will be dropped into the OP, but no reason for the lock will be provided. The thread can only be unlocked by the Host who locked it.
I think that would apply in this case. The group has precedent for locking contest threads on DU2 and I don't think this is much different from asking the mods to lock it.
CC
(8,039 posts)as the contest is full. Pinning it so it is easier to find once we have polls. So unless you can beg Mira to beg me to unlock it for changes these are the entries for the December or whenever contest. Good luck to everyone, especially the voters because ya'll have made it HARD to vote, again.
