The missions photo contest I first proposed several weeks ago is gaining momentum. The $5000 in prize money has attracted nearly 1000 entries so far, the lion's share of them in the last ten days.

To qualify, you need to submit an entry before June 15. If you're interested, send your high-resolution photos to: draw32board@photos.flickr.com and be sure to follow the instructions here. And, check out all the entries at http://flickr.com/gp/adventuresinphotos/5g76X0 .
