OK, I got some positive feedback from a few members, and no negative feedback so I've decided to go ahead and implement it!
There are a few rules regarding the contest, nothing too drastic, just some guidelines to keep us all on the same page.
#1 You may submit only one photo per contest.
#2 The contest runs for exactly one week, from the time stamped on the first post in the thread (this will be made by the winner of the previous week's contest).
#3 Please refrain from commenting on the photos submitted in the contest. I think that a good photograph is one that can appeal to someone who may not know much about the technical aspects of photography. I think it would be best if the judge isn't swayed by someone else's opinion of the photograph.

Please can you PM me when you add a new contest as I can added it to the list inside the sticky, Picture threads - Photo of the Day, Assignments, Monthly Critique, Weekly Contest

The judge will decide his/her favorite at the end of the week, place a post listing it and a short synopsis of why he/she chose that photo. The winner is then responsible for starting a new thread containing a new contest and topic which again will run for exactly one week.
I'm not wanting this to be anything formal, just a fun little competition for those of us wishing to participate. I think it will help us all improve our photography. If you win, and there's something you want to improve on, that would be a great topic for your contest so you could see what others might do with it. Let's all just have fun with this.
Please everyone, don't be afraid to participate. You shouldn't worry that you are not good enough to win, you're likely much better than you give yourself credit for, and this will only help you get better!
I'll put the topic in the next post.
