In case you missed it, we opened the 2009 DCist Exposed Photography Show for entries a couple weeks ago. We’ve been enjoying seeing our Flickr pool fill up with potential winners. If you’d like to enter, please read our rules, then fill out our brief application and submit the $5 fee. After that, pick your three favorite photos that show us the vibrancy and cultural uniqueness of Washington, D.C. and throw them in the pool by midnight on January 7. If you have any questions regarding your submissions, check our Flickr discussion board first, and go ahead and ask if it hasn’t already been answered.

Keep your calendars marked for February 20, when our 30 to 40 winners will frame their beautiful prints and hang them in the Gallery at Flashpoint. The gallery, a Cultural Development Corporation project located a block from the Metro Center stop, will host our opening reception that evening, followed the next week by a panel discussion in collaboration with The Pink Line Project. Hurry, hurry, and get those photos in!
