Congratulations to last months competition winners and a big thank you to everyone who took part.
In first place with 11 votes was @dragonsdreams with his beautiful Central American squirrel monkeys taken in Sierpe, Costa Rica.
In second place with 9 votes was @etiennescamera with his cracking close-up of a Hippo in Chobe, Bostswana.
In joint third place with 8 votes was @iamdlewis with his stunning shot of a Fiery-Throated Hummingbird.
In joint third place with 8 votes was @GT12 with his majestic whale encounter.
I'll be in touch with the first and second place winners soon to arrange the vouchers.
Theme
For this month the theme is patterns. If you need a little inspiration then head over to flickr. We also have a Pattern Challenge Thread but not too many posts unfortunately.
Competition Dates
Entries start: The date that this post is published.
Entries end: May 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting starts: May 20th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Voting ends: May 27th at 3am Eastern Time (9am GMT)
Shot Taken Date
Only submit images taken during the current and previous two months. The metadata including date must be included in the uploaded image.
What Do I Get if I Win?
1st Place - The first place winner will receive a $30 (US dollar) voucher for Amazon.
2nd Place - The second place winner will receive a $20 (US dollar) voucher for Amazon.
3rd Place - The joy of taking part.
There are no alternative prize or cash options, so if you are unable to accept an Amazon voucher I'm afraid you will miss out on the prize. If your local currency is something other than US dollars then the above amounts will be converted based on the exchange rate at the time. In the event of a draw the prizes will be split.
How to Enter + Rules
Our themes for the year have already been decided to give you a heads-up on what's coming next.
I'd really appreciate feedback about how the competition is running but please don't post it in this thread. Instead please post any feedback in this thread in the Feedback Forum.
Thank you for participating and good luck!
