The photo you enter in the "Show Us Your Best Shot" contest is any photograph which you took within 30 days of the date you submitted it.

To be able to stay on a monthly schedule, the last day for submitting entry photographs will be five days before the end of the month, ie, if the month ends on the 30th then photos must be submitted no later than the 25th. If the month ends on the 31st then photos must be submitted no later than the 26th. Etc...

There are 31 days in October 2012, so, entries will end on October 26th 2012.

The poll will be opened the day after last day for submitting entry photographs.

Only users who have been registered on City-Data over 30 days and who have at least one valid post may enter the contest or vote on the contest (Rule added Feb 3, 2012)

One photograph per contest and one vote per member.

All photographs must have been taken within 30 days of the date you submitted them.

You may not vote for yourself.

If desired you may add your ©copyright signature to your photograph when sharing over the internet.

Please add the title of your photo and any information that you want to share. We do enjoy knowing and the title is placed in the Poll.

You have 90 minutes to alter/edit your post. If you need help with the title or information, just DM me Poncho_NM and I will fix it for you.

Do not use the entry thread for discussions. There is a separate thread to be used for discussions.
