perhaps you can also provide links to peoples threads (first page) with the 3 photos so contenders can provide a brief summary for those interested.

I won't be posting my shot until later tomorrow night... so how's that going to work if you only have tomorrow to make the voting poll but I won't be home until 11ish to post the shot?

Maybe someone else can set up the vote, sounds like pretty short notice since this wasn't really mentioned before. I'm guessing if a deadline exists for tomorrow we're going to have some unhappy contenders who got disqualified because they didn't see this post in time.

April 15th shouldn't be a surprise considering the 15th has been the deadline for every month anyways, and the 15th was stated in the rules from the beginning..

I don't have a problem meeting the tomorrow deadline and yes it clearly states and always has stated the end of the contest is April 15th but nothing about when voting will start and definitely nothing about total disqualification for missing this deadline. I also thought people could use a little more notice to setup their thread and perhaps do a kind of summary.

But whatever you all want I just don't see the big deal, after all this is just for fun but it seems to feel more like edited.

LOL...Im not even in the contest but I will chime in and say that every contest I have ever entered had rules and most people know that if the deadline is set and you miss it, your out. Thats just the way contests work.

Comparing it to a dictatorial government is so ridiculous and quite tasteless.

Who are you nominating to do so?

Will the next one have similar rules, or can we change them? I want in on it this time I think, but under different circumstances then the first contest. I'm going to try and start a new thread on this whole thing.

Deadline is tomorrow so as long as you post tomorrow before midnight your own local time I think you're fine

I say give people a few days or even a week to post their final pics and they should be contacted by PM to be sure they got the notice.
