unusual sightings #. If you submit a photo (or two) meeting this criterion, you may post up to three photos but you may only submit a maximum of 2 photos of the same bus.
To ensure consistency, photos must be displayed with a width of 640 (or height if 640 if a "portrait" aspect) - photos wider than 640 are required to use the option width=640 or height=640 in the image tag. For example:
[img width=640] instead of
[img].
Submissions close midnight

Voting will commence on 28 August. Voting will close on 1 September.
# fairly broad definition of "unusual sightings": buses doing routes they don't normally do - such as Renault/Irisbus/Artic/STAGs on weekends, normal buses on City Loop.

For next month, I'm looking for new photos to use in Fleetwiki (http://www.actbus.net/fleetwiki/index.php?title=Fleet_Summary) so any of the following four images will be the "bonus category":
- Irisbus Agora Line near-side
- Scania L94UB off-side
- MAN 18.310 CNG near-side
- Scania K320UB CB80 off-side
Non-AOA bus and preferably no side advertising either.
