Countdown to December's Contest Results Hello Everyone! I'm stepping in for Chris, who stepped in for Michele Fricke in June 2013, who replaced Elida Gutierrez in June 2009, who replaced Chris Budny in April 2008, who replaced John Caruso in Feb 2008, and who replaced Sharon Day in April 2007. Sharon was doing the contest countdown when I joined BP in 2005. This monthly thread is where we share our favorite contest image(s) from December. If it makes Staff Fav/Finalist/Winner, all the better. So give your favorites a showcase here, tell us why you picked them, and join us in the countdown... Good luck to all of you! If the last few months are any indication, BP will finish the EP selection around the 25th of January, then Staff Favs by the 28th, Finalists by the 29th, and Winners on the 30th. It could be a mad dash to the finish line, so hold on cause we're all in it together. If it's any consolation, the judges have far fewer images to judge, as compared to several years ago. This month, I think there were around 6,000 contest images; three years ago the total was 30,000/month.

Highlighted Comment: Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process: 1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your Reply here. This avoids a duplicate image upload to your Member Center. Note the Photo ID# of the image you wish to include here (visible in your Member Center) then return to this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, and choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down (even though you won't actually be uploading a file.) Click Submit; at the next screen, populate the "Photo ID" field shown over at the right. Skip the other text fields on that screen, check the boxes at the bottom, and Submit. 2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery. If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate... which may one day be deleted.
