Starting from March 2010, the rules of the monthly competitions will be amended to the effect that members who have won an award in the previous month’s competition, can not re-enter the subsequent month’s competitions until their award expires. In practice this would mean, for instance :-
Say 'User Ref A' provided some super hot pics and won the 1st place spot in the March 2010 competition, they would not be able to try again until the expiry of three months, which would then be the July 2010 competition.
Or
Say 'User Ref B' provided some hot pics and won the 2nd place spot in the March 2010 competition, they would not be able to try again until the expiry of two months, which would then be the June 2010 competition.
Or
Say 'User Ref C' provided some pics and won the 3rd place spot in the March 2010 competition, they would not be able to try again until the expiry of one months, which would then be the May 2010 competition.
I hope that the above is self explanatory, and I also sincerely hope that you can understand the reason why we have felt the need to alter the rules slightly, again its got nothing to do with us not appreciating our winners have provide in the months that have gone by, its more aligned to opening up the prospect of winning to a wider audience, on a month by month basis.
