The Tip
You can use any of the images you have published during the competition or new ones (as long as you publish them in your diary), but if you are going to publish a photo with which you have already participated in the 'Photo of the Month' contests perhaps the jury will not give it such a high rating in terms of originality having already seen that image.
As a tip, try to take new photos if you can or use a different photo. But hey, if the photo you used before is good and you liked it a lot, don't hesitate to use it if you don't get a better one.
