Here is the fun part - we are giving YOU the opportunity to design each month's themed image.

The only thing we ask is that your image be themed around the next calendar month. When coming up with ideas, you may wish to think about what national holidays and events are coming up. Also consider the weather for that time of year, and the ideas you associate with that given month.
