Poll voting

Because we are not a super group and I am no longer a premium member, we cannot host poll voting this time around. Thusly, please make sure that you all (more so if you entered) vote via note.

Voting ends: 20 February, 2012, midnight AEST

Please do not vote for yourself and please do not ask others to vote specifically for you. If you would like to advertise voting, you may do so, but not ask anyone to skew the votes in your favour.


Seasonal (Winter/Summer, depending on where you live) theme

So, I'm definitely late, I know... But I figure for these months I've missed, we could have a catch up on whatever you might have photographed or created in this time and the future month. For many countries, this past time has been Winter and surely there are many times when you've depicted the frosty goodness. I, personally, live in Australia and here (along with many other countries) we see December, January and Febraury as Summer months. Pool time, beach, incredible sunrises/ sets, having time with family...? These are just a number of things that you may have experienced recently (or in the month to come)...
Along with these "season" pointers, this past time has been a reason for celebration, not just for some, but for all. There are heaps of things one might have celebrated recently; Halloween, Thanksgiving (for you Americans), Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year (as separate from the former point), Australia Day (for some of you in Aus, obviously), etc.
Moving along to the "New Year", this month can signify changes or resolutions you might make throughout the year. Obviously right now is the time to think about the coming months.

So, the overall prompt for these months is: "Recollect and Resolve"

Rules:
The media entered (photography, physical artwork, writing, etc) must either be made by the entrant or have been properly credited to those who did create the piece.
The amount of entries are limited to 2 (two) per person.
The entries submitted do not need to have been made specifically for this contest and are allowed to have been made prior to this contest.
You must be a member of #Word-Wit to enter our themes.
If entries seem irrelevant or misplaced to the folder, I may remove them. To ensure this does not happen, please make sure to mention in the artist comments that it has been entered to this theme.

Entries are due by: 01 March 2012, midnight AEST

How to enter: Submit each entry to the Beginning 2012: Recollect and Resolve folder in our gallery. Submissions are automatically accepted.
To be considered "entered", your works must be in this folder and relevant to the theme (and you must be a member). Your work may stray from the theme (but not too far) and if you feel it might not be envisioned as relevant, please feel free to explain in your artist comments or you can even note me about it; I am very lenient when it comes to submissions.
However, there have recently been works that do not fit our theme that may have accidentally been placed in these folders. I would like for entrants to mention in their artist comments that their entry (or entries) are being entered for our group theme(s). This is not necessary. However, if I find works that do not fit our themes within the folders and do not mention the group themes (possibly misplaced), I will remove the works.
This may be enforced in future submissions if misplaced works continue...
