Cool engine bigal, how it works is there will be a notice that they are taking submissions each month, at that time if you wish to enter, PM the photo and info to Dauntless. That way it is kind of "Secret" till the poll is opened to vote.

Hmmmmm Wonder which engine Richard entered?
I didnt enter one this month, the competition is too tough. :D


One issue here is that it is too secret, meaning that when this thread got posted for June I missed it and it slipped right out of sight quickly. When I thought to ask and got the response, it was already too late. There ought to be a concerted effort to keep this thread near the top each month. By the way I did not need to enter a piece this month but would certainly enjoy such an opportunity.

I agree, a Sticky right on Top would be the best.

Yes that would do it. Sticky at the top.

Could consider dual submissions of photos, one here with a copy of same pm'd to enter. This was my first thought, however I like your sticky idea better.

Sticky can be done, just needs a bit of organising on our behalf.
Dauntless posts this thread as he does all the collecting and sorting and only admins can make stickies so that needs Wallace or James.
try to remind us next month to make it a sticky if we forget.

Well, James has the list, wonder when the drawing will be held?


If we are to go by last month, it could be any amount from time from one day to two weeks

Only kidding James
