Til things get sorted better, I'll go ahead and host this. I really like the award and don't want it to get forgotten or lost or anything.
NeoCodex Photographica
I am sure that you can guess what the overarching theme of this contest is:
Photography!
Every six weeks, a theme will be given, and a deadline set.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, will be to take a photograph (or choose one from your own back catalogue) that satisfies the theme as best you can manage.
There will be two winners each month, one selected by a small panel of judges made of the previous contests' winners, and another based on a public vote. There will be no runners up, and one person may win both prizes.
Prizes will include a shiny award, and potentially donations from community-minded members.
Each month's winners will then help judge the next round, and be ineligible to win (although they may enter for fun!).
This month's theme:
Plants
Dead or alive
This month's deadline:
Friday the 19th of September (Midnight Central Time)
