So... I followed up on the painting contest with Richard at his website a few days ago, assuming Tim had not heard back from him. He has not forgotten but apparently has been busy with other things, as can happen with any of us.
He said he will get going on the next contest and asked for a topic idea. I suggested commanders, both historical and generic, but if anyone has any other thoughts or suggestions please chime in! (Hussars would be colorful!)Bruce

Well done Bruce, commanders or Hussars sounds good to me.

A quick question to our members. As Richard is a bit busy at the moment I will be putting up a new competition very shortly. The question is: How long do we want it to run for? I think we used to do it for 3 month blocks but I am open to other suggestions such as monthly for instance. Your thoughts gentlemen (and any ladies of course) please.
Tim

My two cents worth: 3 months is too long and 1 is too short. I know it sounds fussy, but a month can be tough if you are starting some things from scratch. 3 months seems like forever on one topic. So I guess that leaves 2 months! Bruce

I think two months is a good number as well Tim.

Tim, what are the start and end dates for the competition? Are the categories commanders and hussars as Bruce suggested? John.

Okay everybody, the new contest topics should give us some vibrant colors for the holidays! If anyone needs a refresher or is new, there is a post on posting your pics, originally from Tim, that gives a good tutorial. Bruce
