Volunteers NO LONGER needed for the six remaining photo contests in 2022 !!!

Last edited Mon Nov 22, 2021, 01:12 PM - Edit history (8)

We have vacancies in the following months:

January Callalily

February
Mira

April mnhtnbb

July LakeArenal

October AndyS

December which is the Seasonal Contest for Autumn--urbanhermit

I'm hoping that we can get some volunteers over the next few weeks for these remaining photo contests. Remember, without a volunteer Host, some of these contests won't happen, and we can't have that. They bring joy and beauty to DU!

If you have questions about any of these, please feel free to ask me! Once upon a time, I was new to running a photo contest, and I found it fascinating and rewarding.



On edit: every time someone signs up, I will update this post and the one pinned at the top of the page. They will both get updated at the same time, to reduce any confusion.

OF COURSE, I will hold your hand! And not to worry. It looks like a lot, but it's not really.

I will put you down for July.

And I will PM you shortly.

Bless you!

If it proceeds to run as smoothly as it has so far I might pencil myself in for a month, albeit tentatively.

I was toying with the idea of a possible trip to the Netherlands next April to see the tulips in bloom, but have decided I'll have to content myself with the bulbs in my own yard.
