The winner picks the theme for next week.

If the winner doesn’t supply a theme before Thursday 22:30 GMT, the organizer will select the theme. In this case, the winner’s theme will be used the next time we are lacking a theme on Thursday 22:30 GMT. :slight_smile:

Having selected the theme, the winner will not be eligible to enter that week. They may however still submit an image, but it won’t be included in the voting.

In the eyes of the Monkey King, they’re nothing but insects waiting to be squashed. :smiley:

Copy-pasted from my entry:
“This is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, from the Chinese classical “The journey to the west”. Fun fact, this is the inspiration for the character Goku, from dragon ball z. So, if it is looking like anime, that’s not a coincidence.
I tried to do something that would make justice to the absurdity of the powers of this trickster immortal monkey, So, a full on battle scene.”
I didn’t get the question, but felt like explaining this again. the journey to the west is amazing :smile:
