Topic :: February Photo Contest

February will be the 38th NAM Monthly Photo Contest.

Follow this link for the: Rules and Submission Instructions The deadline for entry is noon pacific on the 25th of this month.

The photo contest is held to encourage people to take new photos with the topic in mind. As a result, please do not submit any photos taken before the contest topic was announced (see contest rules regarding EXIF data).

February topic :: Black

Interpret that how you will, keeping in mind that the photos must be MINI related and that only one photo per member per month may be submitted.

Some of us in other parts of the country don't get that white fluffy stuff.

Besides, as mentioned by dave you're free to interpret the topic however you wish..

Not really inspired with this theme, and a couple months late for the SIGN themed contest.

Well Pearl is 2/3 of the country away from me for the time being so I'll really need to improvise to come up with something new (but I think I still have a few from earlier this month I might be able to groom.

The toughest part of these contests is second guessing yourself after clicking 'submit.'

It does my heart good to know I'm not the only one that does that.
I have stopped myself twice from submiting something thinking I might have a chance to improve on what I got so far.

It's madness~
