**Thread for VOLUNTEERS to HOST Photo Contests in 2025!**

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank you, my dear littlemissmartypants!

I am happy to accept your offer, but I want to make sure that you understand what we need you to do.

I need you to host a contest. This means you post a thread where the theme for the month is stated, so that our members can post photos that work with the theme.

Then, when a sufficient number of photos from our members have been posted in the Submission thread, you get to post the polls so the membership of DU can vote on which one they like. I see you have a star, and that's good since you will need that in order to post the polls that record the votes.

I will put some links in my post that will show you what you'll do.

Here's an example of a Submission Thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/1036138553

Here's an example of a poll thread: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219729295

Running a contest does not mean that you must take photos. Please ask me if you have any questions!
