We have 17 great submissions as I write this. If we haven't received the full 30 submissions by tomorrow evening, the 20th (and it looks unlikely that we will) then I will open the thread to a second submission at that time.

If you haven't yet entered but want to, now is the time!

Hey everyone! The DU Photo Group is holding a contest, and you are invited to participate!

The theme is: "Things that make me happy." It can be anything that makes you happy.

The submission thread for entries (including a link to the rules) is here: https://democraticunderground.com/103675533

All skill levels are invited to participate. AND REMEMBER: You don't have to host a contest if you win. The Photo Group now has a list of photogs who are assigned to the various contests so YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT! Just have fun and enter a photo.

There are 30 spaces allotted, and we currently have 15 slots remaining open.

See ya there!

COMMENTS THREAD for the May Photo Contest

Please post comments or questions (and any threats aimed at the host) in this thread.

Fresh Air Archive

I don’t know how many of you may already know this but Fresh Air has an Archive of 40 years of interviews. And it’s searchable.

https://freshairarchive.org/

It can provide a nice break during these times.

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.
