Looking for a Moderator
We are keeping our eyes open for a new moderator to help vote on submissions. It is not an urgent need, but it will help us from running behind when one of our two more active admins are away. We are looking for someone who can be active and whose gallery presents work that will be accepted into our gallery with no question. In return for helping our, you have unlimited submissions (this is why we need quality control!) and your deviations get accepted as soon as you submit them. Send us a note if you are interested.



Voting Underway
As many have already noticed, voting has started for our Angry Birds Contest. I've been tallying the totals and it is a close one!! Probably the closest we've had yet. Remember, if you entered you must vote; otherwise your entry will be disqualified. This is to encourage participation throughout the contest. I am also very pleased to see so many members who did not enter the contest vote for the entries. Thank you for being supportive!! If you haven't voted, please take a moment. All entries are in one page on the journal to make it easier for you!

I cannot believe that it is May already! Weather has been holding back the waves of migration, but it seems like things should pick up this week. Get ready for the birds!!

One more week to enter!
There is one more week left to enter our Angry Birds Contest. This will be your last reminder as I will be out birding in Ohio's Magee Marsh during the contest's final days. We have many wonderful entries - have you added yours yet??

April Features!
Our April featured journal has been posted last night! It was tough to choose which deviations to feature because there were so many beautiful works in our gallery. If you were featured, you were already notifed, however, everyone else should check out the beautiful birds that are part of this article. Support your fellow members, visit their deviations, +fav, comment, etc!

Submission Limit Update
Members may have noticed that the submission limit has been lowered to one deviation per week. We are getting a little behind, so we did not want to have an overload of submissions waiting to be accepted. Please be patient as our admins are very busy. We may or may not keep this limit based on the number of submissions that come in. We always seem to fall behind on the weekends or when admins are out for a while.

Want to help out?
We are always on the lookout for new moderators who cote on submissions. If you think you have what it takes, then send us a note explaining why you would like to help and how much time you think you have each week. In return, you get an unlimited amount of submissions per day (within reason though!!) and your entries get accepted right away.

Affiliates Contest
Our supporting affiliate, #Unframed-Nature, is having a contest with the theme Baby Nature that begins today! Do you have a deviation that fits this theme? Then you should join the group and enter! The contest journal can be found here [link]
