It is recommended when voting for someone who has multiple entries; to include which entry you are voting for. This way we are voting on the image, not a specific artist.
Q – Can I post an old image of mine?
A – You can, but then that’s not much of a challenge is it. While you may already have an image that is perfect for the theme of the challenge, I would suggest either re-working it, or even making a new one. The whole point here is to push your artistic abilities. Reach for something new and exciting, while still having fun.
