Lovely images but you need to start a new thread for each image in the challenge folder. This is the discussion thread 🙂

I posted an image in this Imaging Challenge (#29) - then later realised that data capture commenced outside the allowed dates. I do not see a means of deleting the entry. Mods. please go ahead & delete it - no further comment required.

Plus please can we also close the ability to post a new thread as this challenge is closed.

Hi, I'm wondering about the rules for this contest. I posted a collage of images I had taken from Aug - Oct 2019. If I can have only one entry then this is what I'd like to be counted but I'm wondering about creating images that had some data from the period and additional data from another period. In other words, does every single frame for this contest have to be captured in the period of Aug through Oct 2019?

Secondly, I posted a collage but I don't know if the individual images could be entered into the contest by themselves (i.e., it isn't excluded due to it being considered a multiple submission.
