In the Gallery. From the drop down menu select the 'Monthly Photo Competition Entries' forum when you upload your entry.

Lol! You've already uploaded three photos today which is the daily upload limit for members which is 'three photos per 24 hrs'.

One of the other moderators must have removed your entry as it exceeded the limit.

Just wait a while longer and uploaded it when the 24 hrs period has expired. Entry closes 21st August so there's plenty of time yet.

Oh, ok that makes sense. I apologize, new to this forum and still trying to figure everything out :)
