Related: About this forumTheme for October Photo Contest: Poll
Last edited Tue Sep 25, 2018, 04:37 PM - Edit history (1)
Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions for a theme for our October Contest. I am not going to include typically fall related ideas because shots of "fall" generally are submitted to the Autumn Seasonal Contest which runs in December. Usually that includes typical fall holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving), but I am going to include Oktoberfest as an option because many of us in the US don't think of it as a typical American fall holiday.
The poll will run for 72 hours. Please vote!

Some of the best (not to mention, most popular) photos in prior contests have been of people and animals. I would like to see more such photos.
