Fall Color Contest 2012: Voting Open!
The 2012 Fall Color Contest page is now open!

Please follow the link above or visit: http://www.viewfindermedia.com/wordpress/2012-rmnp-fall-colors-contest/ to go to the page.

We've been able to apply many of the suggestions you the members made for the contest. This year's gallery will have thumbnail images with no cropping, larger image previews which open into new windows that you may easily scroll through, and no log-ins or passwords will be required to upload images or access the gallery.

Photo submissions will be accepted until 6 p.m. MST, December 2nd. Voting will occur from December 3rd-9th and results will be posted on the gallery page as well as here on the RMNP Forum on December 10th. If you experience difficulties with any step in the submission or voting process feel free to send me a message through the forum or on the contest page. We look forward to another visually-stunning contest this year. Hope you enjoy it and good luck!

The gallery has now been updated with all images I've received as of this post. If you sent images over the last few days and don't see yours in the gallery please send me a message and we'll get them up.

I'll be home with an eye on the gallery's upload queue this weekend so images will be posted much faster. There's only two days left in the submission period so open the floodgates and send me your photos ASAP! Thanks!

I have received a couple requests to extend the deadline a little further into this evening. I'm going to extend the deadline to 11:59 p.m., just before midnight tonight. After that the voting will be switched on. So, if you still have some last minute photos to submit to the contest I'll be available tonight to get them up. Thanks!
