Poll for March 2023 : Friends and Family

[June Ingram]

The theme for the March Competition, "Friends and Family", was chosen by Thomas Hypher.

Please vote for your three favourite photos. This is the sixth competition of the new calendar year, with winning and runner-up photos going towards the 2024 QE2 Story Calendar.

The prize this month is "Three Queens - An International Rendezvous", a film by Robert Neal Marshall and signed by Robert Neal Marshall. The prize is donated by Lynda Bradford.

Voting is easy, but you need to be registered as a Forum member and log into the Forum to vote.  Whether or not you have submitted photos, please support those who have participated, by choosing your 3 favourite ones, noting the details, then tick the relevant boxes on the poll.  If you have entered photos, please do not vote for your own pictures.

You will not see the results of the vote until the poll has closed on 1 May 2023, after all time zones have had a chance to catch up with the voting deadline.

Enjoy the variety of the photos, seeing family and friends together, and choose your three favourites.
