Showing Original Post only (View all)November Contest Information [View all]
I'll be trying my best to have this contest run smoothly but I can't give any guarantees.
The Theme for the November Contest is: Metaphor Abstract
Submissions will begin Friday November 8 and go through Friday November 15.
Submissions will be open which means you will post your entry to a specific thread.
Preliminary Voting will start on November 16 and go through November 19.
Finals Voting will start on November 20 and go through November 23.
Voting will last for 72 hours in both the Preliminaries and the Finals
Dates are not written in stone and could vary.
And to provide you with some information regarding the Theme:

Anything goes regarding the processing of your photos. We're talking Abstract here so there really are not any boundaries on your creativity.
Have a question? Just ask.
Thanks!
