It is a once-a-month post where users submit a cross stitched piece related to a theme, and other users vote on the pieces. There are three winners.
Reply with a comment to the main post.
The last seven days of the month.
It is a stickied post on the /r/CrossStitch subreddit.
Any reddit user
Yes.
Any piece that would be allowed to be submitted to the subreddit may be entered into the competition. This includes blackwork but excludes embroidery.
You do not.
You may link to a reddit post, an instagram post, an imgur photo...
The piece must be thread and fabric.
There currently is no limit. You only get to keep one trophy attached to your username. Also you can only win once per month.
UPDATE (for monthly when there are only user flairs as prizes): Once you have won first place in a competition, you will share first, second, or third place with another user who has not won first place before. Once you have won second place, you will share second or third place with another user who has not won before. Once you have won third place, you will share third place with another user who has not won before.
Because I don't actively hunt for people to donate prizes. I'm looking for a mod to help me! Maybe that's you!
Typically the first week of the subsequent month.
First, the comments section is randomized. This means every time you load the page, the comments will be in a different order. There's no way to know who is most upvoted. I can't do anything about recognizable usernames, sorry. You can downvote them if you feel strongly that they shouldn't win.
