JANUARY PHOTO Contest Theme Ideas?

OK, here it is. January 1, 2020. New Year, new decade, and with any luck, a BLUE Year!

I'm going to put up some ideas for a contest theme for this month. Please feel free to add some other ideas.

I'd like to settle on a theme by the end of this weekend (January 5th); give people a week to go out and shoot or look through archives; open submissions on the 11th and hold them open until the 18th; run Prelims 18th-21st; run Finals 21st-24th.

I like the idea of new beginnings and life renewed sort of thing for the first month of the new year.

However, for me, it was a no-brainer. Sun and moon it is!

Happy New Year, my dear mnhtnbb!

but I think they could all fit under the WINTER Seasonal Contest which will run in March.

I'll go with the choice of the majority - I could try to make a case for most of them. Except Peggy's favorite.
