Edit* I have been informed that monthly contests are in hold during seasonal contests so this will now be April's theme. Lots of time to find your happy thoughts*

April's theme will be "If it makes you happy"

A picture that makes you smile for any reason. It can be a pic you were excited to catch. Maybe a proud moment.

Or go snap a picture of anything that makes you happy. People, places, things, ideas, whatever. Break out your crazy edits. Sky is the limit on this one. Just have fun!

Will post reminder and start submission thread in April.

3. Actually, I don't believe there is a March contest. The Winter contest takes its place.

It was decided some time ago that one contest per month would be enough.

Here's a link to the thread where this is discussed: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103614595

5. I don't see where it says that in the thread

Unless I'm missing it. Doesn't matter to me one way or another. I'm happy to take a freebie this month but the thread should be edited to reflect specifically that season contests take over monthly

4. Peggy is right.

In March we are running the Seasonal contest for Winter, and skipping the monthly contest, so as I see it you are on for April.
I am noticing you don't have a star, and that is a must for being able to make polls, so please get a star.

6. Sounds good

But I cant find that information anywhere. Can the powers that be edit the contest posting thread?

7. The announcement that the winner of the February contest would host April

was included in the Finals thread

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210278145

DU rules preclude anyone without a star from running polls--not just for photo contests--for any reason. It costs $1. to get a star.
If getting a star isn't possible, then the winner of the contest agrees to find someone else to host the next contest.

The photography forum has an understanding that if someone doesn't have a star and wants to participate in the contests, the person
should be willing to either donate in order to get a star in case of a win, or, agree to find someone else with a star to host the contest.

8. Easy place to miss the info

I read the first time contest hosting and contest rules.

9. It's ok.

There's usually someone around to clarify or ask questions if you need to.
