**Thread for VOLUNTEERS to HOST Photo Contests in 2024!**
Last edited Wed Oct 16, 2024, 03:17 PM - Edit history (12)
We've had three very successful years having volunteers running the monthly contests.
Now it's time to think about next year, 2024!
If you've never hosted a contest, here is a thread that will describe that: https://www.democraticunderground.com/103649550
Here are the months. If you would like to host, please respond and identify which month you would like to host. The SEASONAL Contests run in March, June, September, and December. All other months are theme oriented contests where the winner will be awarded the prize of choosing the theme for the contest in the next theme oriented month. As in the past, the winner--because of selecting the theme--does not get to participate in the next contest, but hosts are allowed to participate (unless by chance the person who is scheduled to host also happens to win the previous month and selects the theme!) As an example, the winner of this November's Contest (2022) will choose the theme for the January 2023 contest because the contest for December 2022 will be a Seasonal Contest (AUTUMN)
It would be really wonderful if some of the winners from this past year would VOLUNTEER to HOST!
As people respond with the months they would like to host, I will put the names together with the months so that we can refer back to this thread to see who has volunteered for hosting any particular month in 2023. Just indicate in a response to this thread which month you'd like to VOLUNTEER to host, and I will match your name to the month. I have already picked out the two that I will run this coming year.

I'll put you down for for June and August!
I will PM you the paper I wrote that shows the steps on how to set up the threads and polls.
Size restrictions are a bit of a problem. I will see if anyone can help with that.
You can't remove a comment that's in the wrong place--but you can ask the poster who did it to remove it. And there are ways to keep people from putting comments in the submission thread!
I hope that helps! I have to find my instructions and when I do, I will PM them to you.
Thank you for asking!
I found the first time I ran a contest pretty daunting, but now I'm used to it.
Let me know if you'd like my instruction sheet.
I will put you in for February.
Would you like me to PM you my outline of instructions? They help me every time, and I've hosted a bunch of times!
I will add your name!
I thought I would wait a bit before posting it.
I hate the thought of doing it; it feels like I'm erasing him.
