Timeline and Theme for the May Photo Contest: DOGS!

Grumpy Old Guy won the April contest, so he gets to think up a new theme for May!

Dogs!
I have been involved with several contests, and I've noticed one thing in particular. Photos that include a dog always do well. I'm sure it's because people love dogs. It's almost as if the dog photos have an unfair advantage. Therefore, I think it's time to level the playing field. Every photo has to include a dog!
Dogs rule!


Timeline:
April 28--May 4th: Think, think, think! (Thanks, Grumpy!)

May 4--May 10th: Submissions

May 11th--Preliminary threads (72 hours)

May 15th--Final threads (72 hours)

And then I announce The Winners!

I think this is going to be very popular, and I can't wait to see all the entries!

Remember that you'll need a photo hosting website to put your photo here. There are directions at the top of the Photo Group page.

This is gonna be fun!
