I think it would be really nice if submitters also include the links to the observations. Sometimes, I would like to read more about the subject of the photo.

I think i will leave that up to people if they want to do that or not, and seeing most people already do, i don’t think i need to make it a rule.
Let me in?

all 3 photos have to be within one post or they can be separate?

Is there a prize? Will the winning photos be published somewhere (other than this thread in the forum) or is this more of a just-for-fun sort of thing?

I think someone should code little ribbons that can be hung on the observations, hahaha.

I’m a little confused. Are only members who submit photos to the contest allowed to vote? And if you’re choosing the winners of each round – what is the point of voting, anyhow?
(Be prepared for some feedback if you, a self-proclaimed birder, get a little too feathery in your winner choices!)
