<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><span class="copy">The rules are simple and few.  Unlike the former Dress Contest, anyone is eligible to participate in the Dress of the Month Contest!  (The Dress of the Month Contest is not limited to just Newlywed Web Ring members only!)  We want <B>real brides</B> in <B>real wedding gowns</B>.  No supermodel magazine scans or "on the rack" shots, please.  You must have at least one photo of your dress online at the URL you submit, so that the contest owner can see what the dress actually looks like on you.  (Multiple shots from multiple angles are preferred.)  E-mailed photos are <U>not</U> accepted!</font></P>



<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><span class="copy">Please enter the Dress of the Month Contest only <U>once</U> every three months.  Contest winners are asked to display an award (shown <A HREF="http://www.whollymatrimony.com/DressContest/dressmonthaward.html" target="_parent">here</A>) at their web site, with a link back to the Dress of the Month Contest</A>.  Photos entered <U>must</u> be available for current and future use/promotion by the owner of "Wholly Matrimony!".  So if you are sitting there staring at your monitor and thinking, "Hey!  My wedding dress was beautiful too...I could win this award...no scratch that, I <U>must</U> win this award!" -- why not <A HREF="http://www.whollymatrimony.com/DressContest/dressmonthap.html" target="_parent">fill out</A> the "Dress of the Month Contest" application -- and prove it!</P>



<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><span class="copy">The contest is now continually updated to <A HREF="http://www.whollymatrimony.com/DressContest/dressmontharchive.html" target="_parent">archive</A> each Dress of the Month.  We've also added a"<A HREF="http://www.whollymatrimony.com/DressContest/dressmonthhonors.html" target="_parent">With Honors</A>" showcase of former dresses submitted.  Good luck to everyone who decides to enter their dress...and as always..."<I>may the best wedding dress win</I>"!</font></P>
