Our Group’s NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS!



Our Group’s Upcoming THEMES



December - Not sure yet, if there will be one...


Our Group's NEXT BIG CONTEST

CURRENT - Nov. 7th

:thumb327828265:
READ FOR DETAILS!

We've had some updates since it was first posted!

Currently there is 1,000 POINTS available for FIRST PLACE!


Our Judges are now in place...

AND, our list of Promoters and Features have also increased, and may STILL increase!

IF ANYONE or ANY Group wants to promote this contest, or feature the WINNERS,
or BOTH, please let me know, by commenting on the above Contest Article, or sending me a NOTE.

DON'T FORGET, this one VERY important RULE:
In the "Comments" of your Entry you MUST make a LINK to the Contest Article [above] AND say that it is for #Unframed-Nature's Autumn Contest!

PLEASE read the Contest Article for the rest of the RULES, and Contest details!



WE CAN'T WAIT to see your entries!!!
We've already seen some magnificent ones!




SuperGroup renewal is in December!


Points for Our Group

First of all, #Unframed-Nature can not thank enough our very generous Members, and Administrators alike, who have Donated and continue to Donate Points to our Group! A few of them have done so, multiple times!



But, it is especially the time of year again, to mention the finances!


The above Contest is our SECOND and LAST BIG CONTEST of 2012.


Plus, we have had a few "Monthly Themes" which we've treated as "Mini-Contests" with a small amount of points, as prizes.
We probably will not have another one like this during the rest of this year... mainly because as far as points go, we may not have enough. But we'll see!

And we DO want to hopefully have a few points to begin the NEW YEAR, so we can do a few more "Monthly Themes"/"Mini-Contests".

The point is, our SuperGroup renewal is up VERY SOON, [Decemeber 1st] which is right after the current contest winners would be announced.  We are hoping for some further donations, and also because we hope to begin 2013 with a few extra points.




Last year, we had a huge push to go SuperGroup, as wanted and expressed by the majority of the Membership, and so, near to the end of the year, the Members and Admins., came through with our SuperGroup status.


[SuperGroup has been a very helpful status, afterall, now I admit it.]

Therefore, this is the last big push of the year to ask if you might think about donating again to your Group of #Unframed-Nature

The Widget is HERE:
~Unframed-Nature-PTS


Any and ALL Donations would be HIGHLY appreciated... and you will read there how you will be recognized and rewarded for your kind generosity!

Affiliate Groups’ NEWS & CONTESTS

AFFILIATE GROUPS LOOKING FOR ADMINS.!

My other and much smaller group of #WolfyDeviants
HAD a couple good changes last time I had reported on it...
but, now it is not going as well as I had hoped.

After MONTHS of searching I finally found one person who was willing to help out with the group,
and not long ago, she had agreed to take over the FOUNDER position, for me!

But now... she has left dA completely...
The truth is, I can't spend the time on this group, anymore, and I never have spent the kind of time that it deserves...

It was recently SUPERED, as a surprise by another admin., so it's already a SuperGroup...

But, it is need of help, and leadership...

If I can't find someone to take over, as FOUNDER, by the end of November, I will likely just close down the group.

:thumb314981612:

The above is about asking for HELP, in general,
but the truth is, I am looking for a new FOUNDER to ADOPT this group...

If interested, PLEASE, Note ME, `TeaPhotography directly,
and we can go from there!




is an awesome wonderful Group!
It’s where “Wishes Can Come True!”
