The photo you enter in the "Show Us Your Best Shot" contest is any photograph which you took within 30 days of the date you submitted it.
Post your picture in this thread.
You may post as many photographs in the discussion thread but the actual contest thread is limited to one photo.
To be able to stay on a monthly schedule, the last day for submitting entry photographs will be five days before the end of the month, ie, if the month ends on the 30th then photos must be submitted no later than the 25th. If the month ends on the 31st then photos must be submitted no later than the 26th. Etc...
There are 30 days in April 2014, so, entries will end on April 25th, 2014.
The poll will be opened the day after the last day for submitting entry photographs.
CONTEST RULES:
1. Only users who have been registered on City-Data over 30 days and who have at least one valid post may enter the contest or vote on the contest. (Rule added Feb 3, 2012)
2. One photograph per contest.
3. You must have been the person who took the photograph which is entered. (Rule added Apr 1, 2012)
