New Year, new rules!
The Photography Group has decided to eliminate part of the prize for winning the monthly photo contest. Previously, if you won, you were awarded the pleasure of choosing the theme for the next contest AND hosting the contest. No more! Now the winner still gets to choose the theme for the next contest--although still won't be eligible to submit a photo when you choose the theme--BUT, the winner will no longer have the responsibility to host the next contest!
What? That means anyone can enter a photo contest and not have to worry about ending up with the grand prize of hosting!
How are we going to continue contests, you ask? VOLUNTEER HOSTS! There is already a thread up and running to solicit volunteer hosts for 2020 and the monthly slots are rapidly being filled.
So, if you are a previous photography contest winner and have enjoyed hosting, please consider signing up for one of the few remaining months for 2020. You can do it here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103673585
If you'd like to enter the JANUARY PHOTO Contest, our theme this month is
In Honor of the Roman God, Janus (god of doors, beginnings and endings, transitions facing forwards and backwards)
