Alrighty, I should have been more on top of this, but I just escaped the 7 day workweek from hell, my mind hasn't been on the forum much lately.
Those of you who have shared multiple pics in this thread need to specify your ONE entry for the contest (those that already have, thank you). If no one beats me to it, I will put up the voting poll tomorrow afternoon. If you do not specify your desired photo, I will have to pick my choice as best of your pics, and that will become your entry to the contest.
In the future. I think we should allow only one pic per person to be posted for the monthly contest thread to eliminate this problem (unless extras are clearly marked "not for contest"). If you have many pics to share coinciding with the contest theme, new threads are easy to start and are quite welcome.
After the poll is posted tomorrow, I will leave it open until Fri 5/4 11PM EST, as I do not see a clear runaway winner in this one. The winner will get to specify May's photo assignment next weekend.
Sorry for the short time notice, I know this should have been posted Friday. April was a short contest month, May will be too now. We'll figure out a good system here soon enough.
Thanks to all for participating, these monthly photo contests are great. A few kinks to work out, but we'll get there...
