Can you replace the theme idea with a category. Look to the NPPA or 
something similar and do one category per month. Start with something 
like Portrait Personality and make all entrants submit along those 
lines. Next, maybe Landscape, Street Photography (hate that term) or 
Features? 1st 2nd and 3rd in each month and assign each place points, 
i.e. 10,5,3.. At the end of a year we should have  /*TADA */ "Lugger of 
the Year" based upon previous wins.
