Bindibadgi · 2nd May 2008, 23:33

This months theme chosen by the winner WiK1d is "New Beginnings"

Full results will be in a new story soon.

OleJ · 2nd May 2008, 23:48

Congratulations WiK1d! What a PoTM debut!

A great shot of a beautiful scene with good PP

Now you have us all holding our breath for what you'll come up with next

Interesting theme. Very open to diversity. I like!

WiK1d · 4th May 2008, 20:31

Thanks OleJ, you deserve 10/10 for creativity though!

I also thought about the massive range that this theme has, and then I realized that I shot myself in the foot :P I have absolutely no idea what to go shoot

//I think you guys forgot to remove the old photos out of the POTM site, they are still under the Current Gallery

The new theme is a pretty difficult one. It have a lot of potential but it's hard to find something that will stand out.

I do have some ideas, though.

OleJ · 17th May 2008, 16:43

Go go go people! It's the 17th already

HugoB · 21st May 2008, 22:52

Quick, someone post pictures of bit-tech's new office

Bindibadgi · 24th May 2008, 12:49

One more day people - I'll be closing it tomorrow and opening voting.

Jamie · 27th May 2008, 14:59

Entries are now closed and voting is now open!

Good luck everyone!

No idea but I PM'ed him to let him know he needed to create a thread for his picture. Dunno if he sees it...

kenco_uk · 27th May 2008, 23:26

Awesome pics again this month. Must kick myself into gear and get using my camera again soon.

WiK1d · 1st Jun 2008, 12:39

When does voting close?

OleJ · 1st Jun 2008, 14:34

it should close today.

Jamie · 1st Jun 2008, 21:44

Bindi is in Taiwan at the moment. What time does the voting usually close? I have permissions to close it so I can do it.

I'll email him tonight to see about when we can announce the winner.

Ahh yes you're quite right
"voting begins on the 26th of each month at 1AM BST (midnight GMT) and finishes on the 29th at 1AM BST."

Bindibadgi · 2nd Jun 2008, 01:29

Yea sorry all I've just not got time - I will try and look up the winner later and announce a new theme but the news post will have to wait until next week once I'm back in the country.

supermonkey · 5th Jun 2008, 17:22

I understand you guys are probably busy with world travels and all, but has there been any progress in counting the votes and determining the winner? Also, are we aiming for a short contest for June, or should we take a month off and pick it up again in July?

OleJ · 6th Jun 2008, 14:24

My vote is on a short June comp as it would be a shame skipping a month with all this nice weather here in northern Europe right now

skipping a month is a lot better in the winter when we have no light

Smilodon · 6th Jun 2008, 16:14

I'm also for a short June. It's not THAT much shorter anyway.
