With the last Photo of the Day of 2008, may we recommend an addition to your New Year’s resolutions? If you have a camera and live in the D.C. region, submit your photos to the 2009 DCist Exposed contest. Our annual exhibit celebrates the photographers who contribute to our site daily — it’s a great opportunity for amateurs to be part of a real art exhibit, whether it’s a one-time exciting event for you or a stepping stone to something more professional. And all you risk is a mere five bucks (or the ubiquitous weekly latte) for the application fee. Good luck, and see you in 2009!
