You have until next Tuesday to upload your image to Cluster. Members have all been sent an invitation to join and most have done so already. If you have any trouble feel free to email Esther. We also encourage you to leave encouraging comments for other members.
And thanks to the other members who have forwarded great suggestions. We have enough prompts for the next month or so, but we still love to receive your suggestions/requests for future challenges. Please leave them as a comment under the challenge notification in Cluster or Facebook.
We will also post this competition on our “Friends of BCC” Facebook group so our friends can still participate by sharing their images on Facebook.
