Sorry for the delay. I've been trying to come up with a theme that should have plenty of interpretations. Run is a fairly short word but apparently has many different definitions and phrasal uses.

RUN

The Rules:

* The competition is open now and will close on 31st May at midnight.
* PM me your submissions.
* ONE photo per user, however you may CHANGE your submitted photo at any time up to the due date by sending me a PM.
* There is no maximum or minimum image dimensions, we are not here to discriminate against hardware.
* Only very light editing is allowed. Adjustment of Levels, Colour Correction, Contrast, Sharpening and Cropping is allowed.
* This thread will be closed at the specified time (end of the month). No extra entries will be accepted, except under special circumstances.
* Entries breaking these rules will not be entered.
* The forum policy on images and content must be followed.
* If you wish to remain anonymous even after voting has finished, then please let me know when you are submitting your image.
* Ensure you enclose a title and please make sure whatever host you use I can download the pic.

The Process:

* Please keep the image size to less than 1.5Mb

* Go out and take a photo, fitting in the theme and rules.
* Post your entry to me by PM, I will host it and post it.
* When the due date passes, the entries thread will be closed, and a voting thread created to determine the favourite.
* You will not be able to vote for your own entry.

The Tips:

* Think laterally, not literally. Makes for an interesting piece.
* Try to make everyone think about what they're looking at.
* Do what YOU think is right. Art is very subjective. What's great to you, sucks to someone else, etc.
* Title your work, it will make your choices more obvious
* This is nothing serious, have fun while you're doing it.

Voting:

* Voting occurs for one week from the 1st June until midnight on 7th June
* After voting has finished the winner chooses the next theme within a couple of days.
* Once the new theme has been chosen entries may be submitted at any time up to midnight on the last day of the month.

Good luck

I also regret to inform you that the subject from A Bug's Life in the last round has passed away. My fault entirely but it wasn't intentional. I guess it was seeking shelter from the bad weather and has been exposed to an insecticide barrier I sprayed down a few days ago.

Insecticidal maniac!

Presumably you were protecting yourself from things that bite and sting and carry disease, but it's a shame the poor fellow got caught in friendly fire

I hope there's going to be a last minute rush.

Is running up hill from Lynton/Lynmouth?

We're there any last minute entries?

Run Rabbit Run

So the entries close.

I failed so hard this month. Sorry.

My apologies also. I don't want to apportion blame, but my other half dropped the digital camera in a jug of chicken stock and killed it. Will be back in business for the next one.

In effect, the dog ate my homework.

I'd love to see the insuarnce claim for for that!
Almost as funny as the drawing my dad had to do when the dog took a bite out of the dash board in his new car.
