July Official Picture of the Month 2007
Welcome to the July Official Picture of the Month 2007!
The monthly official polls will highlight the official side of royalty as opposed to the informal side of royalty. The monthly polls will consist of pictures that show a royal on official business.
For more information on the 2007 Picture of the Month schedule and all we have planned for 2007, take a look at this thread. 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: Danielle - Dennism, mathilde16 Britain: Avalon - milla Ca - CasiraghiTrio Brunei: Humera - Warren Denmark: dazzling Japan: dragonsfire8 Jordan: Humera - Little_star Luxembourg: suturegeisha - drimal Monaco: Iceflower - Ianna, Michelle, tbhrc Morocco: Humera – Warren Norway: Her_Majesty - KikkiB, carlota Spain: LaChicaMadrilena - Anna_R Sweden: open The Netherlands: The Watcher - Marengo, lucien The pictures of this poll reflect the official royal events of March. The poll will be open for three weeks. It will close on August 26. 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 links in the above poll have been posted in the order in which they were received and do not reflect the opinions of the moderating team. |

Wow, we've got some good ones this month! The PoM teams have really done an excellent job.

I didn't know the Queen and Prince Philip's wedding clothes were preserved :D How cool!

Amazing pictures!
Last month, June, thre wasn`t really a picture that just made me think: Wow! This month it is different! There are 3 or 4 pictures I would like to vot for! What an interesting poll. I think it will be a very interesting result in the end! Now I have to see for which picture I vote! all members who chose the pictures: Really well done! |
Wow- this is going to be a tight race- I'm not sure who to vote for!
|
I cant see "E"
|
Sometimes you have to refresh the window to see gettyimages avrilo.
|
Please notice that picture E has lost the link, that's being happening with Gettyimages lately.
Q: Who choose the pictures monthly?, could it be any picture posted by any member?. Thanks. |
Every Royal house has a representative who chooses a photo. However if you see something you like send them a PM. I doubt anyone would mind the suggestions!
|
Thank you very much Little Star, I'm new in this section and is really beautiful, especially the historical pictures.
Thanks. |
