Hi Hannes, The galleries of entries are now available on the entry form page for each category.

Is there a limit as to the number of entries submitted for each month of the decathlon? Does there need to be any captioning so the photographer can be identified? Are you being clever and calling this a decathlon relating it to the London Olympics?
Thanks for the great magazine and exciting competition.

There is no limit to the number of entries for each month of the decathlon. There is no need to caption the photo, each entry is linked to the photographers name on the entry form and anywhere that the image is used by us the photographer will be credited.
It was not not specifically related to the Olympics, but rather in the same way that a decathlete must be able to compete in many different events, we are encouraging our readers to broaden their horizons and try some different categories of photography in order to become better rounded photographers. Hence the catch phrase for the competition ‘Improve your photographic fitness’
Thank you for the compliment and we will continue to strive to improve the magazine as we progress.
