**THERE ARE NO RULES IN MADNESS, SO WHY WOULD #MONOMAD HAVE ANY?** **YOU CAN POST WHATEVER YOU WANT, NO DAILY TOPICS OR ANY OTHER CREATIVITY LIMITATIONS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POST BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY AND USE THE #MONOMAD TAG. EASY AS THAT. UPVOTING THE #MONOMAD POSTS IS NOT MANDATORY BUT IT WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. IN CASE OF DOUBT I MIGHT USE THAT "EXCUSE" TO PICK THE WINNERS, OR NOT, WHO CARES... IF YOU DON'T CARE WHY WOULD I CARE? SUE ME!!** **BESIDES THAT, I'M A VERY SENSITIVE PERSON, SO IF I SEE YOU USING THE SAME IMAGE TO ENTER MULTIPLE CONTESTS WITHOUT A CLEAR MENTION TO #MONOMAD I MIGHT "ACCIDENTALLY" MISS YOUR ENTRY.
