The Rules

 The theme for this photo contest is Cute Little Critters. The December Mini Contest is about animals - wild or tame - preferably but not necessarily in a winterly, or christmas related context. Birds, squirrels, cats, dogs ... whatever as long as they are cute *sigh*. I accept old photos, and I accept diptychs.

 To enter the contest, just drop me - *signmeupscotty - a note with a thumb or link to your photo and `Contest' as the subject line. Only one photo per account please.

 I will only accept photographs taken with a film or a digital camera featuring a minimal amount of color and exposure adjustment. Photomanipulations, which are images that have been composed of two or more photographic elements to create something new, won't qualify.

 All contest entries are displayed in my contest journal, and in my December Mini Contest Collection.

How To Vote

 Voting begins December, 25^th and ends December, 30^th, 24:00h WST. What time is that for you? You either send me a note or answer to my reminder-note. This is how it works:
