Welcome to MAY 2012’s Top Submissions of Unframed-Nature.
Thank you for being here whether you are a Member yet or not!
We welcome you and your support!
Since the beginning of January 2012, we’ve grown 700 Members!
That means, in six months, we’ve grown an average of just over 100 Members a month!
So, a GRAND Welcome to ALL of Our NEW MEMBERS!
Thank you to our loyal Members who have been submitting to our Group for a long time now. Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
Thank you to ALL the Members who voted on this monthly event!
We completely appreciate you supporting your Group in this particular way. It is so generous of you to take the time to VOTE! You are wonderful!!
Let’s continue to submit our own BEST QUALITY work, enjoy it, improve upon it, enjoy the work of others, and Nature in general. It’s what it’s all about-
combining our art with our love of Nature, and coming together under that commonality!
Without further ado...
Please Enjoy The Voted Top Submissions of May 2012.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL SELECTED IN MAY.
[ Each section/folder has a small group, at the VERY TOP, where those had received just slightly more votes. They will be moved to the Featured Folder.
The others are in no particular order.]

All-Media Welcome that would fit this theme.

NO muted tones, sepias, tints, colour-selections. Stick to the THEME.
This theme is pretty black and white.
You May Submit, ANYTHING that you would normally submit to ANY of our five regular folders, as long as it follows our Group’s regular rules!

Or for the overview our Group, which includes the rules for our Group,

It may be old or new, but not previously submitted to the Group.
Submit your VERY BEST, as our Monthly Themes are treated as MINI-CONTESTS!!!
Members will VOTE, on what they feel is the TOP, during the WEEK of voting, on “TOP SUBMISSIONS of JULY” [Aug. 1st - Aug. 7th]
They WON’T vote on their own, in this folder, if they’ve participated to it.
PRIZES

If anyone is promoting this July Theme/Mini-Contest, it is appreciated.
It’s not required to link back to this blog about the Monthly Theme, or to the Theme Folder, in your Artist Comments, the way we ALWAYS REQUIRE for our BIG CONTESTS. But you can if you want. It’s OPTIONAL.
We have begun to kindly ask for POINTS again for our group, because after especially our BIG Contest, we will need to build back up, A LOT, to help especially with the BIG ITEMS coming up for the REST OF 2012:
Our annual Autumn Contest
SuperGroup renewal in December
[We also hope to hold Monthly Themes, as Mini-Contests, most months.]
We don’t want to be rushed at the end of the year, when it comes to renewing, Super Group.

Founder Away, Voting on JUNE, NEWS
Founder Away & Dates
I will be away from dA & the Internet from:
July 2nd - July 13th
There are a couple of reasons, but a big one is due to the fact that my brother and his family are coming, and they've not had a chance to make a trip to visit me in 6 years, which means my youngest niece has never been on a trip to visit her auntie, since she's not quite 6. :aww:
This will be very special for us all, as such times are so rare. :aww:
