5th Category added to Monthly Competitions
|
|
Starting from now through June, we have introduced a new category called "Nature" that enables each user to upload up to five photos per month. There are two reasons why we have made this change: firstly, we have received requests for more upload opportunities from our users. Secondly, we are participating in the NECCC Digital Interclub competition, and we need additional photos to compete effectively.
