This will be the LAST competition this year where members can submit an “Open” category image if they don’t have a suitable image that fits the assigned subject. We encourage people to follow the 2021 monthly subjects, but also realize some people won’t have suitable images in their archives.
Also, for Competition meetings via Zoom, you can only submit 2 images for Competition.
