Timeline and Theme for the May Photo Contest: DOGS!

Grumpy Old Guy won the April contest, so he gets to think up a new theme for May!

Dogs!
I have been involved with several contests, and I've noticed one thing in particular. Photos that include a dog always do well. I'm sure it's because people love dogs. It's almost as if the dog photos have an unfair advantage. Therefore, I think it's time to level the playing field. Every photo has to include a dog!
Dogs rule!


Timeline:
April 28--May 4th: Think, think, think! (Thanks, Grumpy!)

May 4--May 10th: Submissions

May 11th--Preliminary threads (72 hours)

May 15th--Final threads (72 hours)

And then I announce The Winners!

I think this is going to be very popular, and I can't wait to see all the entries!

Remember that you'll need a photo hosting website to put your photo here. There are directions at the top of the Photo Group page.

This is gonna be fun!

As the winner of the April contest, he gets to pick the theme for this one. He can't enter it, however.

We talked about it, and I think this will be a fantastic contest.

You could try posting a poll and ask the group which one they prefer. That’s the option that my mind suggested first!
