[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]🌲 The photos must be taken by you, but can be taken at any time (not just during the contest).[/size][/font]

[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]🌲 Anyone in Forest or in a region which has an embassy with Forest may submit photographs for the Contest.[/size][/font]

[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]🌲 Timing:[/size][/font]
[list][*][font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]Submissions will be open from December 1 at 03:00 GMT (10:00pm Nov 30 EST) to December 23rd at 23:59 GMT.[/size][/font]
[*][font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]Voting will begin on December 23rd at 23:59 GMT and end December 31st at 23:59 GMT, so that we will select the winners in the first minutes of 2019![/size][/font][/list]

[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]🌲 Voting will take place on a Google Form. Needless to say, please no puppeteering![/size][/font]

[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]🌲 The photographers with the top three photographs in each category will have their photos acknowledged on our RMB and on our World Factbook Entry. A banner will also be created with a collage of the top photos to applaud the winners, and participants in the competition will be encouraged to add it as their nation's custom banner. Forest's flag will also be changed to the 1st place photos in each category for a week after the Contest.[/size][/font]

[font=Avenir, Segoe UI][size=120]Now it's time to head out and start photographing! Good luck to everyone![/size][/font]
