The deadline for submissions is Sept 13th @ 10pm via Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ucmphotosocietythemecontest. Please name your pictures correctly and upload the entire groups at once and submit them so they will be together. We will total your points after the deadline. If you would like to total your points there is an excel sheet you can fill out, it will self total at the bottom for you!
