Please register to participate in our discussions with 2 million other members - it's free and quick! Some forums can only be seen by registered members. After you create your account, you'll be able to customize options and access all our 15,000 new posts/day with fewer ads.
Please read the appropriate DISCUSSION THREAD to be up to date before posting. You may post as many photographs in the discussion thread but the actual contest thread is limited to one photo.
The theme of the photo you enter in the "Theme" contest is determined by the winner of the last contest.
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 August 2014, so, entries will end on August 26th, 2014.
The poll will be opened the day after the last day for submitting entry photographs.

For the next Theme how about "Decay" which can be captured in so many different ways.
So the theme for the August 2014 Theme Contest is "Decay" as described above.
Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park. These Pueblo cliff dwellings are slowly decaying over the centuries, but are in surprising condition given that they were built in 1200AD.
