It's been a while since we've hosted a contest, so I think it's time that we put something together.
It's winter, and one of the things I associate winter with is snow. Of course, this group has members from all around the world, so not everyone experiences winter the way I do. So I decided to have this contest revolve around the color of snow, white.

Any prizes will be gratefully accepted, so if you'd like to donate a prize, just note me. I'll accept anything, features, subscriptions, etc. And, if you'd like to donate some points, I have a donation pool set up on my profile. Anyone who donates at least 100 points will get a feature on my page.
You can still enter the contest if you donate a prize and I always let the prize donators know when the winners are announced. =]

Judges

More judges will be added soon.

Judging will basically consist of this: After the deadline, I'll note all the judges with a link to all the entries. The judges will then chose their top 5 entries and rate each from 1-10, 10 being the highest. Then they'll note me back with their selection and rating and I'll add up all the ratings and the three highest will be our three winners.

If you'd like to be a judge, first make sure you're a member of this group. Then note me, TwiggyTeeluck and let me know that you'd like to be a judge, and in that note, please tell me why you'd be a good judge.
Judges are still allowed to enter the competition.
_{I only reply to those who are being considered!}
