Dear members, Today is the 13th of March, we would like to begin the bi-monthly subject/contest today, the deadline for entires will be Tuesday March 27, with voting on the 28th, 29th, 30th, winner on the 31st, and then on the 1st of April we roll into our next bi-monthly. The award given will only be a small graphics award, but we are beginning work on fueling interest by sponsors in our six month contests, two a year. The first subject we all discussed was easter, and if it is alright with you, I would like to keep the easter subject for the April 1 subject, as Easter is on the 16th of April. Our subject the for the first bi-monthly contest is "anything industrial". Now, before you all guffaw, there is industry everywhere, in your house, garage, on the street, on signs, cars, buildings you name it. The photograph can be anything you want it to be, and all entries are welcome, by purists and media mixers alike. Any rules that need to be addressed will be sorted out as we roll, since we are all new to this. If anybody has objections, please state them now. If anyone would like to design an award, please state that now. Thanks! Syyd
