Film Photographer of the Year 2017
Process:
Each monthly theme will have one thread, which will cover entries, voting and results. Hopefully this should keep everything simple and mean there aren’t loads of FPOTY thread floating around unnecessarily.
On the first day of each month, the months thread will be created. Members may submit their photo in this thread up until the last day of the month. After the theme closes, a poll will be set up to allow members to vote for three images (any TP member may vote, not just those that enter), and this poll will run for seven days. After the poll closes the votes will be counted and points will be awarded to each participant based on their position, and updated tables will be posted showing monthly and overall positions. At the end of the year the winner is the one with the most points!
Themes:
There are two months with an open theme, in January and July. These are necessary because there were so many themes tied for 11th and 12 place in the voting. I’ve put one in January to give more flexibility during the first month where there’s less time to get a photo.
Rules:
