No particular reason. We had two themes in a row recently and just have not planned a new one since. We are working on a new theme for May at the moment.

Aprils Contest

I'm not sure what to do.

Yesturday (or was it Wed.) I entered a picture of my Chameleon, and I even saw it, when I went to view the entries. I even saw how many views my photo had.
Today, I can not find my entry any where, in the thread or entries.???

Brad, can you help me understand what I did or am doing wrong, today?

Same with me too, I though I had uploaded a photo correctly a few days ago, but I do not see my image in the gallery as well.

You are witnessing the most difficult part of the contest, and that is where I narrow the entry count from 60+ photos to 16 or less. It's a difficult and time consuming process, and unfortunately many great photos are blocked from voting due to the level of competition. If you would like some tips on how your photo could have scored higher I'd be happy to offer some suggestions via pm.

Having a hard time deciding on your favorite?

Comparing the original size of each image can help and is recommended. Photos should not only be judged by the chameleon displayed, but also on composition and image quality.

How can you view the current votes after you have voted?

How can you view the current votes after you have voted?

The current votes are hidden until after the contest. The reasoning is that we want people to make their own decision instead of depending on what everyone else voted for. Hiding the votes also helps to curb dishonest behavior.
