You can enter up to 3 images into each category, except the Amazing Internet (and they are…). Portfolio category where you have to enter 4 pictures. (More info on the categories below.)

Another thing, remember if your pic is hilarious but in the wrong category, fret not. We will put it into the right category, simple as that. Aren’t we nice?
