#Photo-Challenge-52
This group is dedicated to the 'a photo a week for a year' challenge. The next challenge will start in January and some different challenges are probably being hosted as well next year! We'd be happy to see more participants trying to finish the challenge next year.
I feel some of the issues raised in there are good for the entire dA community to reflect upon.
Thank you!
Also, a slightly controversial whoa: [link] I understand if it is not included, I just like stuff that reflects a different point of view.
