Here's a draft of what will be posted in the morning for the submissions.
Please review and ask questions now.
Also, I have a function at my son's school in the morning, so don't flame me if I'm not here at exactly 11:00am to launch the Submission Thread. If I'm an hour late, I'll give an extra hour on Friday. I don't think it's going to be a problem though.
Anyway, here's the draft:

Please read this entire post before posting.
Welcome to the first City-Data Photography Contest. It's just for recreation and good times. This contest was just an idea that materialized and we've worked through, and isn't officially sanctioned by City-Data. So if you have issues and or gripes, direct them to me, not City-Data.
If you missed the Entry Thread, then you missed your opportunity to submit a picture in this contest, but depending on the overall success here, be on the lookout for future contests and PLEASE vote in this one.
Now the details for this thread. Remember, all contestants should be very familiar with the rules/guidelines from the Entry Thread..
1. Only the members whose names appear in the poll may post to this thread. All other posts will be deleted.
2. Contestants, please post your picture, a title (if you'd like), and your name IN the post.
3. The poll will be closed until Friday the 14th at 10:00am EST to allow all contestants to submit their pictures prior to the commencement of voting. You may post your pics after that, but you might miss votes. No one will be able to vote until AFTER 10:00am.
4. No 'Great Shot' posts or 'Nice work' allowed. If you see ANY posts here that aren't picture submissions, please use the report post feature by clicking this symbol . A moderator will be notified and the post will be deleted. There should be nothing here to skew the votes. I might need to make a post in this Contest thread, but I doubt it.
5. After the poll closes, the winner will be announced and the prize will be rewarded.
6. Remember gang, this is just for fun. We're all just hangin' out, trying to be better photographers.
7. If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to DM me.
Guys, please, post your name IN the post when you submit your pics. I can fix the ones already submitted, but my aim is to go in after everyone's posted and merge all the posts into one huge post. That way, no pictures get pushed to 2nd or 3rd pages back. Once I do that, they will all appear in a post with my name at the top, and you're going to want YOUR name with your pic.
WOW THat is all I can say about the photos in the contest!!!!
