Good morning! (it’s afternoon here)

Big THANKS!! to Mira for stepping up to host last month’s contest and for doing so even after being injured.

2 contests in one short month and it’s already time to think about the March contest. Whew!

Good thing it’s fun!


March Theme Suggestions

1. Faces (human faces, animal faces, or perceived faces in everyday objects and nature)
2. Macro
3. Black and White
4. Negative space
5. Reflections
6. Motion
7. Food
8. In 3’s (grouping of 3 - of the subject matter)
9. Tilt (was originally Doors but that's been covered as a theme)
10.Shapes

Please give your opinions, as well as any other suggestions for a theme. We’ll narrow the theme suggestions down to 5 or 6 for the poll. I will start a poll on March 2nd based on your feedback in this thread.


A theme will be announced sometime on March 4th. The theme will be determined by the poll, so PLEASE vote.


I tried to base some of the ideas on comments made over the last several weeks. I didn’t include flowers as a primary theme because of the ‘scenes of spring’ contest. Some of the ideas come up monthly - and some are because I thought they sounded interesting.


The submission thread will open on the 17th and will remain open until 30 entries are reached or until March 19th. (whichever comes first) There will be an additional day (the 20th) for any final changes - after which time I will close submissions and prepare the preliminaries to begin on the 21st.


I know it all feels rushed and crowded with 3 contests running back to back (It does to me anyway) but I want everyone to have enough time to get their entry ready. Hopefully, 12 + days will give everyone the time they need.


This is my first time hosting and I am bound to make mistakes - apologies in advance.


Thank you!
