Hello Everyone!

I'm sorry to say that I'm taking a hiatus...hopefully temporary. I'll try to get caught up with the affiliate notes that we have. But members, please STOP sending submissions now. Like I said, I hope this is just temporary, so please keep our journals on your watch list so that you can see when we re-open. Thanks

Hello Everyone!

Just a couple things! Be sure to check out the screen shot submissions! ~louxadra puts work into them - and it's a great way to get a glimpse of all your peers' amazing work! Also, don't forget to check out our Affiliate Contest Page! This is constantly being updated with new contests from affiliate clubs! It also features some great work from contest winners!

I was recently contacted by =Ailedda and she has a new feature project going on. You can read about it HERE or in her journal!

I was also contacted by =echelon-maniac about a PhotoLit Prompt. Check out the details here, here and here (read all 3) and get involved!

On an ending note - things are feeling a little stale around here. We could always do another photo contest -or another scavenger hunt? OR if you have an idea for some new activity - please don't hesitate to shoot us a note! Just put "IDEA" in the subject line!

JUDGES!

Yes, the contest did end July 5th -and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten to it sooner. I've been out of town and w.out a computer. I'll get the contest going and hopefully wrap up voting by early next week.

Thanks for being patient!!!


=fraggle37


HELLO! Please review the rules below and please don't submit until you do so! I keep getting tons of contest submissions that are not NEW photographs (some not even close to being new!)! I figure I should clarify more - The contest started on June 14th, so the photo must have been taken on June 14th or later!

Sorry for any confusion!

=fraggle37
