=LeonaWindrider, ^skifi or I will assist in judging every week depending on our schedules.

CHALLENGE SCHEDULE
Every week the challenge will follow the same schedule:
Sunday: Challenge launch and submissions opened. Last week's winner announced as well as new weekly theme.
Monday-Thursday: Time to work on your entry!
