With the New Year comes a change in the Photo of the Month Topics. The change is brought about to get more members out in the Great Outdoors to Enjoy it with their Families!
I am hoping that these changes will spark even more interest in the Photo of the Month Contests and make families more important to all of us than they already are.
Plus it just might spark a lot more interest in Outdoorsmanship by family members, so that our sport continues to grow!
Here is a list of the 2013 Photo of the Month Contest Topics, so you can start to plan ahead for the up coming Months.

Please Note the following New Rule!
Effective Immediately, we will No Longer go through the entries and Re-size photos that do not follow the Contest Rules about Photo size! The only time we will do so is if it is requested by the entrant because they do not know how to do so on their own. That request must be posted in the entry or requested by either a PM or an email. It is Unfair to the members that follow the size rules for us to continue re-sizing on our own. So from now on, if the photo is too big and we have not been asked for help the photo will be Disqualified! Dick
