2. Thanks for all your work on this....But, can I please make a suggestion?

Could you please get approval from Skinner to post a notice in GD, when entries are due.

Those of us who are not constantly on photography forum, might like a chance to enter
but unless you are on there you don't know about the filing deadline.

Every time this comes up, I think, "Wow, I could have submitted something on this." and it's too late

If you add the Photography group to your subscriptions, maybe it will help you remember. It's a fun group anyway!
