All,
My list of ideas for monthly contest themes is starting to run short. I'm looking for some new ideas. Throw out some suggestions. I've received some suggestions via email/PM in the past - please submit them again.
I think this month is our 30th monthly contest!
Thanks,
Eric

What about a...
1. sports theme? It could be doggie sports or feature a favorite sports team?
2. (inspired by the latest episode of How I Met Your Mother) a firsts theme, as in puppies first Christmas, dogs first title, moms first litter, etc.
3. non-dog/human friends (squirrels, rabbits, cats, etc.)
4. Toys
5. Celebrity look a like ***(my favorite)
6. Dog Shaming (if you haven't seen the website
http://www.dogshaming.com/)

on the dog shaming, I think we schould just open a DS shaming sticky topic, so we can add over the years
You can check out the old topics on the dutch forum as well Eric, for ideas, pick the popular ones
Overthere they always loved the "editing" topics, where phoptoshop or stuff like that was allowed.
I also like the sports idea, and how about "close up"?

LOL I love the doggy shaming idea!
Xmas is coming up so maybe some kind of a xmas or new year theme... as boring and pase as that might be.
- how I sleep
- favourite toy
- photo bloopers

i really like 2 suggestions - 1]the christmas/holiday season for NOW [ already a great posting in photo section ]
and 2] close-ups. in the unlikely event that something fun and original occurs to me, i shall write again. tho it is hard to beat 'my dog and me.' could repeat that every year to uncover other great pics from those that did and did not participate this time.

I jsut finished looking at a hillarious slideshow of "Animal Photobombs".

And it made me think that would be a funny theme, but maybe hard to accomplish naturally.

can be taken as time of day or vampire theme

great suggestions. Thalie and Sadie have been shamed, im sure I can find more shaming. What about, brothers and sisters, or just siblings. I know they aren't true siblings but I call them that.
