OK, I'll try this again..... Yes, I know, we just finished the Febrduary Challenge, but we're going to call this one the April challenge. it would seem weird to call it the March challenge, since 3/4 of it will happen in April. You can read what Alla posted Here I'm not sure what to call it, so we'll just call the THEME Muddy, Gooey, Sticky, Gritty So, that will be the idea for the Theme for the April challenge. Make a scene of any sort, but it's gotta be DIRTY, and it's gotta look REAL. Maybe a street after a flood, or a beach suffering from an oil spill, or a cesspool, or...well, I think you get the idea. :) So, that will be the THEME, and it is the THEME that gets voted on. at the end of the challenge. The alternative challenge, which is NOT voted on, but just meant as an exercise, will be to make a realistic looking thing which looks muddy, gooey, sticky, gritty, or dirty in some way or other. So, that's it. It's starting today, Sunday March 24, and will end Wednesday, April 24. I'm planning on updating the various associated Annex challenge pages, and will hopefully have it all done by the end of the day. I'm also planning on creating an official challeng Rules page, so I don't have to keep typing this every month. ;) If there are any qusetions about this month's theme, by all means, please ask. Cheers, and have fun. :) Mike
