This is just an example how we could describe a challenge/photo contest. This is how it works on another big site (adapted for our needs) successfully for years.
Shall we call it challenge or photo contest or photo of the month?
How does it work?
Submission Rules
Why can't I submit a picture to the contest?
In order to participate in this contest you either need at least 20 forum posts or you need to be a supporting member. I've done this as a means of offering users one more reason to upgrade (and thus support the forum).
Why can't I vote?
In order to vote you either need at least 20 forum posts or you need to be a supporting member. This is done to cut down on forum users who might attempt to create dummy accounts just to vote for their own photo.
What do I get if I win?
The winner will receive the following:
If I win, then what happens?
I will reach out to you via a PM and send you all details

I reserve the right to remove any photo submission as I see fit. Also, this is my contest run using partially my money. Please keep that in mind before airing your grievances publicly.

How does it work?
- From the 10th to the 15th of the current month you'll be able to submit the best photo you have
- Starting on the 16th of this month photo submissions will no longer be accepted.
- Voting will be done in the form of "reactions" or "likes". Click the "like" button in the lower right of each image to cast your vote. You can vote for as many photos as you'd like, and you can also change your votes as well). Voting will be hidden until the contest is over.
- Voting will end on the very last day of the month at 12 AM midnight (UST+1). Any votes that come in after 12 AM (UST+1) will not be counted.
