Monthly photo contest change

[Y2Kvert4me]

As you may have noticed, the November voting poll is posted, as is the Dec photo contest.

Due to the tie in Oct, each winner was allowed to specify a contest...carlton_fritz picked Nov, Grey Ghost picked Dec.

From now on, we will "skip" months...The Nov contest winner will specify the Jan contest, the Dec contest winner will pick Feb, etc.

This allows for a full month of entries, while allowing ample voting time without cutting into the next month's contest time. It also relieves any urgency in posting the next contest. In the event of a future tie in voting, there is also time to hold a second tiebreaker poll if necessary.

The Nov contest winner will be known next week. That winner can post the Jan contest anytime prior to Jan 1 (and hopefully no later than 1/1).
Photo entries must be taken during the contest month, so even if the Jan contest is posted in Dec, photos for the Jan contest must be taken in the month of Jan.
The current month's contest will be the only one active and will be a sticky for that entire month.
