Flower Bulb Picture Contest - 08 Contest
Contest opens as soon as you can find this page. :-) And closes down on Friday, May 16.
Voting is as normal on my photo contests. Those pictures with the most number of votes go into the finals. And I pick a winner (3 ebooks of your choice) from that list. I may or may not give out second prizes (regular readers know I almost always do no matter what I say because the pictures are always so darn good)
So follow the instructions below. Note that the number one reason you might have trouble uploading is because the picture is way too big for my servers. Do try to keep them under 100K as this lets them load up quickly and we can all enjoy them.
