May winners choose July according to guidelines posted by CaliforniaPeggy. That's also what was posted by the host after the May finals.

You are, without a doubt the one to choose the theme for July. I have been absent in mind and body for a while and forgot some of the rules.
PLEASE share the me in secret in a private message what you want me to run with, and I will do so as soon as July commences and reveal it to the group.
I thank you in advance. I had forgotten that the honor does not pass to the winner in the Seasonal Contests.

I believe Mousetoescamper is correct. The winner of the June contest does not get to choose the theme for July. This is because the themed contests are handled differently.

The May winner chooses July theme.


Here's the link to my thread which explains the situation:

Hope that helps clear things up!
