Again, thanks to all who participated in the July contest so with no further ado, here we go again! Similarly to previous competitions, there are some rules set in place though they have been subject to some minor changes recently so, to ensure you're fully up-to date, please do take a look, here. You can view an up-to date league table attached to a post in the June competition thread.

The deadline for entries will be 23.59 on 23rd September. Any entries submitted after the given date will, unfortunately, not be entered for the competition that month. Voting will commence from the 25th September giving a 6 day voting period.

As ever, an up-to date league table will be published with the results of each month's competition. All entries should be submitted to MDDWPhotoComp[at]outlook.com where @ is replaced with [at] for spam prevention. Once the deadline passes, the photos will be uploaded and published in the relevant month's thread in the initial post along with a poll for voting.

With thanks to R311 WVR, the theme for this month is 'Independent Operators'. A few example being: Halton Transport, HTL Buses etc. If there are any enquiries regarding the theme, feel free to post within this thread or, alternatively, send a PM containing your enquiry to R311 WVR. As previously, the winner will then select the next month's theme.

With the new year comes 12 months of new photo competitions! Similarly to previous competitions, there are some rules set in place though they have been subject to some minor changes so, to ensure you're fully up-to date, please do take a look, here.

As we've started somewhat late this month, the deadline for entries will be 25th January giving a reduced voting period of 6 days. From February onwards, the deadline will revert to 20th of the month giving a voting period of 8-11 days. This should give all entrants adequate time to go out and actually capture your entries! Any entries submitted after the given date will, unfortunately, not be entered for the competition that month.

As ever, an up-to date league table will be published with the results of each month's competition. From now onwards, all entries should be submitted to MDDWPhotoComp[at]outlook.com where @ is replaced with [at] for spam prevention. Once the deadline passes, the photos will be uploaded and published in the relevant month's thread in the initial post along with a poll for voting.

To get the competition rolling again, the theme for January is 'Best of 2012'. In essence, a wildcard theme which should get everyone back into the swing of things. As previously, the winner will then select the next month's theme and their photo will appear as the banner for the MDDW Facebook page.
