Although well meaning I do not agree with a banner image for the monthly contest! Reason? it preconditions voters as to what they should be looking for in the image they finally select. I am certain that the posting of an image, by the same name as the contest topic, by the member who selected the topic for the last months contest, before the end of the submission period, greatly influenced voters. Now do not get me wrong, I think the winner fully deserved to win. However,I think the posting of a banner is is a bad idea. On the other hand it might serve as an indication of the standard of entry that the posters should aim for. I might be the only one who has this opinion, but at least it is my opinion!
