All category winners, as well as the top winner, will receive a special FCAP graphic to display on their website (or blog, Etsy listing, etc.) that they are a winner.

Deadline
This round will be for March. Submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. on March 24th.

Submission guidelines:

• All images must be submitted by email only. Please email to fcap.mo@gmail.com. Be sure to attach all 5 files in one email.
• Name your file with your initials and the category (i.e. TMwild.jpg)
• Please resize your image to 1000 px on the long side. If you could change the dpi to 72dpi, I would greatly appreciate it. This will make your file size around 1mb to 1.5mb. (PicResize is a free online tool if you don't have a program at home to do it.)

Here are the rules again, as well as answers to most questions. If you have a question that is not listed, please post a comment below or on Facebook, or email fcap.mo@gmail.com. Note that I updated the time frame of when the submitted images can be created - you may now use photos taken from up to 2 months before the current round. Also, images must be submitted by email to be included in the judging.

For inspiration, here is a list of entries from previous months.

If you would like to sponsor a future month, or know of someone you can ask, please let me know! Just email fcap.mo@gmail.com with the information.
