From the main forum page click on “This Week’s Contest” (the room you posted this topic in). At the top of the page there will always be 4 ‘sticky’ discussion threads. Each one has a date and a topic attached to it. If you go into the thread, the first post will always be an explanation of the theme. You can also go out to the main welcome page on this site and on the right side there will be a menu called “Upcoming Contests” that lists the next 4 contests. If you click those links they’ll also take you to an explanation of the theme. If you still need clarification on a theme, post a question in that theme’s thread and start a discussion. No doubt someone else will have an opinion or two as well. 🙂
