[Kayaker72]

Welcome to TDP forum's Image Competition where photographers may submit their images. The period of entry will fluctuate depending on the number of entries but will be no more than 1 month. Monthly winners then will compete on a quarterly and then annual poll for the title of "TDP Forum Image of the Year."

Rules/Guidelines:

• May entry period will be from May 15th until the end of the month of May or we have approximately 6 images.
• Please provide a title for your image.
• This is an open competition for landscape, portrait, architectural, macro, and any other appropriate photographic style.
• Images should have been either recently taken or processed.
• You may make two entries per period. If the total number of entries by all participants exceeds 10, unless otherwise specified, the first entry will be added to the poll.
• A bimonthly poll will be open for 3 days. A monthly poll will be open for 5 days.

Good Luck!

Truly an unforgettable night. Never thought I'd see such strong aurora in Iowa. Taken just after midnight on May 11th.
