I think that's a bit beyond my sphere of influence.... Re your other suggestion (in an earlier post) about an Open Gallery section each month. We did that for a couple of years after I took over PUGmiester duties but we rarely got more than one or two submissions, which is why I replaced it with an Open Gallery as one of the monthly themes. It's a bit more work to include an Open Gallery each month - not overwhelming but I wonder if it's worth it for a couple of submissions. The Open Gallery month morphed into the World Photo Day theme for the past two years. Maybe we should just go back to the general Open Gallery month in 2017.
