Changed format from 2023, one challenge/contest monthly.

Up to three entries per member for each challenge.
Your NEW entry/entries must use the source image provided. No archives.

Last month's winner will start a thread with a new source (high resolution please) for the next month's contest. Entries will run 1st - 15th, voting 16th - 20th. ( one vote each).

(This is a combination of the original DUC format, with ideas from the Photoshop Contest - Eric/Brappa was OK with this - info in History(access from Quick links)

Your numbered entry/entries should be posted in the contest thread - size medium 500 - and in the group pool. Entrants are welcome to upload entries as soon as the thread is up.
____________________________________________________________________
Admin will announce the winner in the challenge/contest thread, as well as in our winners' gallery thread, and in the About Page.

In the event of a tie, the first tied image qualifies.

The winner of the next challenge cannot be the current winner/source giver, although they can post an entry (in the group pool, and the contest discussion thread), stating that their work is a sample and not to be voted on. However, if their work is voted on and wins, we will take the next highest vote as our winner.

It's about having fun, variety and participation.

Note: All group members can vote, even if they haven't participated.
