The next eight topics are coming on January 1st.

I'll have to also remind you that you're limited to submitting one image per topic, so please make sure you've worked at it a few times, you're happy, and chose out the best to show us. We want you to have the best chance as possible at winning, and that means taking your time to submit only your best images.

Finally, we encourage you to take time to take great photos and pick the that you think is the best, rather than just throwing everything out there and hoping one shot will be better than the others. The competition is about quality, not quantity.
