Kevin S. is going blind.

Marc H.  prefers old fashion camera photos

Oh no!!! The photo contest is one of my favorite features, and I was really looking forward to entering it this year!

I hope it will be back next year.

Sorry guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we aren't having a contest this year, for a number of reasons.

I'm still reading the June issue, and only skimmed through it, so maybe I've overlooked it. But I didn't see anything about the annual photo contest. Aren't the entries usually due in August? If so I would have thought it would be mentioned by now. I hope you haven't discontinued the contest!
