Me too. Unless anyone has an objection, I'll let it slide for this month, since I don't explicitly have a cutoff date in the instructions. I think to make things fair in the future, I'll set that all submissions must be in prior to the end of the month. I haven't had time to do the vote tallies yet, though things get a bit stickier if his votes swing the competition.

I mainly want to include him because he voted for me :P

But seriously, I always assumed the deadline was midnight on the last day of the month, but a couple hours late is within the margin of error in my opinion especially considering that we have members in many time zones.

Even if it tips the winner, does it really matter? It's more important that the photo was taken during the appropriate month than it is whether it was posted by midnight (of what time zone?) of the last day of the month.

I understand it poses a problem if it starts happening as the norm though. It makes posting the results a constantly moving target.

So I say let it stay...

Julians votes have no impact on this month top 3 and his great image should not be missing in the next month competition.

Hi no problem I thought for some reason it was 30th so no need to count me in.
Sorry

Making the Competition #42 post now...just to clarify for everyone: Julian's Image IS eligible for this month. Going forward in future months, this won't be the case, but since I didn't put a specific deadline, this month we'll be good with that image for now.
