This week’s theme is: space

How to vote: look at all of the entries, pick the one you think should win (based on whatever criteria you like - eg. theme interpretation/image quality/noob encouragement/etc…) and vote for it in the poll at the top of this page. If there are only the results at the top of this page, either you’ve already voted, or voting has finished. Also, if you’re undecided between choosing a Pure entry and an Open one, you’re encouraged to pick the Pure entry - other than that, just ignore the Open/Pure classifications.
Easy, huh? :slight_smile:

Whew! That took a little longer than expected!

Things we learnt this week:underscores in hostnames upset the organiser

BBCode doesn’t like ( or ) in urls

a rule requiring that entries must be jpeg is necessary
