Fractalforums

The rules are as follows:

- Every user can submit ONE cool picture to become our fractal image of the month.
  Images must be your own creation!  Production date is unimportant.

- Good resolution (HD mandatory, 4k preferred for print of calender if you win)
   Images must be fractals, created with fractal software, postproduction is allowed.

- To participate, just post in this thread and attach the image to your post. (don't use the gallery)
   Please add interesting info like software/formula used, parameter sharing is very welcome!

- The first two weeks of the month are for suggestion, until the end of  the 14th of the month,   00.00 hr. midnight  (A'dam time) 
   Check your local time here:
   https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/netherlands/amsterdam

- You can vote for each entry once, not your own. (using our voting system bronze, silver and gold -  1, 2 and 3 points)
  This voting period is from day one of the contest, until the end of the 28th of the month.  Voting will be stopped at 00.00 hr.  midnight 
  A'dam time.  Check your local time here:
  https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/netherlands/amsterdam
 
  You can change your vote the entire period, so if you see one later for example that you think is better, just change your vote. Just click
  on your old vote and than vote as you wish.
- Top3  will be displayed in in the Winners gallery when voting is closed, and at the end of the year in a best of the year
  thread/galleryslideshow.
  https://fractalforums.org/index.php?action=gallery;cat=25
 
- We want to revive the printed fractal calendar idea. So any submitter automatically accepts that his image will be used in the
  calender if it wins.
  (all money from the calendar goes into the further development of fractalforums.)

- Post any questions, or suggestions you have here: https://fractalforums.org/fractal-image-of-the-month/70/fractal-image-of-the-month-discussion-thread/150

Please start admitting your best, funny, surprising, creative, incredible work now, and most off all.... have Fun!   
Fractal Forum team.
