I think themes are a good idea, as some might be inclined to take very similar pictures each month, not as much variety, ithout the challenge of having to think outside the box. Though I think they should be more imaginative than just matching the holiday of the month, as this would mean the same themes come around every year. (and not everyone celebrates these holidays  ;) ) Themes like the ones Gis suggested would yeild much more artistic results, IMO. 

I think Karim has a good point about the pictures not needing to be anonymous. It's true that many people have a very distinctive style, and especially after several months, we will all recognize each other's work, anyway.  :)

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I think themes would be a great idea and more challenging.  Let's not do a Victorian theme or Karim will destroy everyone!   :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just Kidding!  Could we maybe expect March to be the first month of the contest?

I think themes are a great idea.
If possible we would want to announce the themes a month or two in advance and keep in mind that there will be a week or more of voting before a winner is chosen for the theme. So if you want to do seasonal like Halloween you would need to announce in August or September, take entries for the first 2 weeks of October, vote the third/fourth week, and then you would have a winner for Halloween.

Yes, I agree.

We haven't decided yet but there's a good chance I think that march would be the first one. Starting maybe the last days of february to be voting the last week of march. we should keep it simple this first time and take it as a pilot! then we have more time to work on the next months. what do you think?
