Now that New Years is here, it is time to close up this contest. I will leave the thread open for the weekend so anyone can still post their images if they want too, but official entries end as of midnight tonight
Great job on the images everyone! There are some really great shots in here, and I will announce the winners next week once we are all back in the office.
Keep your eyes peeled for our announcement blog tomorrow morning for your links to the winners!
We have many Honorable Mentions this month, and they will be posted via Twitter all weekend long! Check out my Twitter page if you don't follow us on Twitter to see all the runner ups without having to be a member.
Also is it just me or did something change with the forum code for image embeds? Going back and looking at the other posts, they've all become stretched out with the images inserting at full 1:1 scale instead of being automatically downscaled to fit within the forum's fixed-width styling.
Nitpicking is a time-honored tradition of science fiction. Asking your readers not to worry about the "little things" is like asking a dog not to sniff at people's crotches. If there's something that appears to violate natural laws, then you can expect someone's going to point it out. That's just the way things are.

The main thread should have the images properly resized. It's when you go to an individual post that the downscaling breaks. It's been this way for quite some time.

3rd Place goes to an entry from Dabelgrave for this flurious shot of one Romulan who wont back down from this squad of Snorg no matter the cost! It's a snowstorm in a rocket launcher, and this winter reveler is winning this one for the Rommies. Freezistance is Futile, but so is standing in her way!
That's a great write up, but I'm a Liberated Borg Human, not a Romulan.

Fooled me!
OK write up change incoming!
Sorry, I didn't get a good shot of the face in there. I probably wouldn't have said anything, but others in my fleet started commenting.
