sorry if I am asking a stupid question, but where should entries be posted to any contest?

they're sent to the moderators in charge and after the deadline they post them for everyone to vote

Not a dumb question at all!

You can send entries to pfphotocontest@gmail.com. Each entry must have a title, and up to three entries are allowed per member. If doing more than one entry, each entry must be a totally different picture and idea, not different takes of the same thing, or the same pic photoshopped different ways.

no no.... bb meant that if you sent 2 pics they must be different. Meant one can't be a version of the other just photoshoped or anything.

Photoshop is allowed though, btw. Just no added words or text or speech bubbles. So you'll know for this month.

IMO, we should not have the photo-contests every month, as, (I think I'm speaking for a lot of people here) we do not know deadlines and a lot of the contests are not getting enough entries. :)
