Is the rule regarding live horses suspended?

Hi, no, at the moment I do DQs at the close of entries so they were seen to last night.

I suggest that all challenge allowing free use of P.P. will be a double entry, including the original, before appling P.P.

Good idea, I will instigate that into the challenges for the rest of the album cover set :)

Shouldn't album covers be square? I think square crops should be one of the rules.

Too late now, I guess.

I thought it would be obvious, [ more fool me lol ] so in this instance the voters will probably [ hopefully ] take that into account, however I should have included it so will be doing for the rest of the album cover challenges :) There is time for entrants to edit and resubmit at least, hopefully some will do so !
