Thread for VOLUNTEERS to HOST Photo Contests in 2024! [View all]

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.
