DU's AUGUST PHOTO CONTEST FINALS

Hey DU members! The theme for the August Photo Contest is Portals. Please choose the image that you feel is the best interpretation of Portals. The interpretation may be of a spiritual or physical nature, or something else. There is room for broad interpretation here, and creativity is always a plus.

Final voting will run from the 24th thru the 26th.

Winners announced, and torch passed, on the 27th.

Skinner has authorized this contest to run in GD.
