Post by: stevebedder on January 23, 2012, 07:02:33 PM
CHAT THREAD
This weeks topic for the competition is...

A GOOD NEWS STORY

All I seem to hear in the news lately is that the world is imploding and that everyone is horrible (OK, slight exaggeration) but I'm sure there are plenty of good news stories out there. This weeks comp is to take a shot that represents a GOOD NEWS story that you have read or seen. It could be a global or national GOOD NEWS story, or something more local to you. It doesn't even need to have been reported in the news, it could be something neighbourly or family orientated that highlights the GOOD that is happening in the world, your town, your street, your house etc.

As an extra incentive to enter this weeks competition, there will be a 2Gb USB 'credit card' thumb drive for the winner.

No restrictions on any PPing
