Welcome to March's Picture of the Month poll!
To emphasize that the Picture of the Month polls are different from other polls around the forum, and that the emphasis should be on the pictures rather than the royal houses for which they represent, instead of the country name, the pictures are embedded into the poll choices this month. To see the image in its full size, click on the thumbnail to enlarge. This month, our Picture of the Month representatives had help in selecting their images with a small committee of their choosing. Below, you can see each royal house's representative (in bold) followed by their chosen committee members. Belgium: Mette2 - Dennism, pdas1201 and Danielle Spain: mtbcm - LaChicaMadrilena, Elsa M., Anna_R Jordan: Humera - Little_star Morocco: Humera - Amira Brunei: Humera - Warren Monaco: tbhrc - Ianna, Michelle, Iceflower Japan: mandyy - kei893265, merampo Norway: purple_platinum - Larzen, LaMinka Sweden: purple_platinum - Lena Luxembourg: suturegeisha - drimal The Netherlands: The Watcher - Marengo, Maxie Britain: princejohnny25 - ysbel, HMQueenElizabethII, Avalon Denmark: H.M. Margrethe - Mandy, norwegianne, pdas1201 In response to member feedback this month's poll will be open for three weeks rather than two. It will close on Saturday, April 22. During these three weeks, we ask that no one state whom they've voted for so as not to influence other members as they make their choices. For the final week of the month, you can discuss as much as you'd like about which image you voted for and why. Please note that the pictures in the above poll have been posted in a random order, first by their shape (portrait or landscape), and do not reflect any personal feelings of The Moderating Team.

The cake CP Viktoria is baking in the picture is called "Princess cake" (Prinsess tårta) in Swedish. That´s funny, I think! :)
