Just a reminder to all of DU.

The Photo Group will begin accepting photos for the May contest on the 15th. The theme is:

“Things that make me smile.”

All DUers, of any skill level are invited to participate. If you would like to participate but aren’t sure how to post or resize a photo, just ask.🙂

And remember: the winner DOES NOT have to host the next contest. The group already has hosts for future contests. If you win you will have the honor of choosing the theme for the July contest (June is reserved for the spring contest).

Let me just add: I hope all of you on DU are making it through these times with spirits intact. We will get through this, and we will win in November!

Best regards to you all.

May 11th, and just a reminder for the photo group.

I’ll be posting a photo entries thread on the 15th. The theme is: “Things that make me smile.”

I hope that all of you are finding a way to use photography to somehow lighten the mood during these times.

Have fun with the 📸

REMINDER: MAY PHOTO CONTEST THEME AND TIMELINE

Please forgive my shouting...

Talitha won the April contest and has set the theme for the May contest: "'Things That Make Me Smile'
It could be anything from a heaping pile of spaghetti to a pastoral landscape scene."

Because Soph0571's timeline worked so well I am going to simply adjust it for the May contest:

I will open the competition to entries on the 15th May A submission thread will be posted at that time.
Will close the competition for entries on 22nd May at 7:00pm PT.
First round of voting 22nd May for 3 days
Final round of voting 26th May for 3 days
Winner announced 29th May and they will decide the July theme (June is reserved for the Spring contest)

REMEMBER: the winner DOES NOT have to host a contest.


Please keep your entry no larger than 1024 pixels in its longest dimension and under 675K in file size. If you need help posting a photograph or with image sizing, just ask.

Please remember that the Submission thread will be for Photos Only. A separate thread will be started for comments.

I will see you all on the 15th of May; or, as Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) said in Saving Private Ryan: "I will see you on the beach!"
