August 2014 Photo of the Month Nominations
 

Congratulations to our June 2014 winner, seen in the example below!

Vote for your favorite July 2014 photo here.

Each month, OrchidBoard members can nominate photos posted in any of the forums. At the end of the month, a poll will be created so that users can vote on their favorite!

The subject of the photo must be orchids: flowers, leaves, whole plants, etc.

Each nomination must include:

—names of plants (NOIDs should be labeled as such, e.g. Phalaenopsis NOID)
—the member's name who contributed the original photo
—a link to the OrchidBoard thread where the photo originally appeared
—the nominated photo (using BB code image tags)

Example:

Paphiopedilum parishii by eggshells

Other Guidelines:
You may not nominate yourself.
You may nominate different photos from different members, but only one photo per member.
If one member receives several nominations, only one photo will be selected for voting.
This thread is for nominations only.
Once the nominations have finished, the voting thread will be open for two weeks.

Nominations will end at 11:59:59 GMT on the last day of this month.

Looking forward to seeing some great photos! If you need help with a nomination, just let me know.

Is it allowed to nominate a photo that has been posted in a thread in one of the past months?

euplusia,

Excellent question. I personally think it could make things unnecessarily complicated.

However, this contest belongs to all of us here on the OrchidBoard, so please share your opinion and we'll find the best solution.

I have been going with pictures that are posted during the current month and pictures posted within the last 5 days of the previous month. But if anyone else has other thoughts on this, please post.

And, here is my first nomination for August Photo of the Month:
