1. Entry photos must be somehow related to macro photography.
2. Post-processing or photo editing is allowed, but keep in mind if you go overboard on it, people probably won't vote for your photo.
3. 1 photo per person per month.
4. Members can give their opinions about entries, and then the entries will be narrowed down to three in the last couple days of the month for final voting in a new discussion.
