Last fall MOS announced a photo contest for pictures of the breeding birds of MD and DC for the 2002-2006 Atlas, which will be published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.  A large number of photographs were received and reviewed by the judging panel.  We are now reopening the contest for a second round focusing on specific species for which either no photographs were submitted or the judges felt they would like additional photographs from which to judge a winner.  We are also revising the rules for submitting photograph and adding a file naming protocol.  There are three files attached:  The second round rules, the "wanted"  species list, and the file naming protocol.  I will be taking copies to the MOS convention this weekend in Edgewater, MD.  
Once again Bill Ellis and his team with be consolidating all the entries for the juding panel to use.  He has also devised the file naming protocol.  The Atlas Committee commends and thanks Bill and his team, Les Eastman, Elliott Kirschbaum and Mike Bowen, for their outstanding support of this effort.  
If you have questions, please contact me at the address below.  My phone number is on the announcement.
