Hoping this year brings more joy to our world of capturing images as we enjoy our time capturing and sharing our images with each other and getting inspired along the way. Out of the seven, I got three EPs. Good luck to all in the New Year! UB.

So here is an update and my thoughts. As of today they are holding at Jan. 8 on EPs. Based on their work in Nov/Dec, I don't think we'll see more EPs until the very end of the Month or perhaps early next month. Don't feel overlooked if no judging takes place. Here's how Nov/Dec went. In Nov, they stopped judging on the 10th and had covered up through the 9th. They came back in Dec and did a second round. They stopped judging on 12/11 and covered up through the 10th. They returned just before New year's eve, and did the 11th and 12th. There was no second round. Now we've gotten to 1/11 and they have done up to the 8th. I think we won't see them again until end of month or next month. In general, I think they have moved to a batch process of waiting until the month is over and then doing the whole month in a few days and then doing as much of the current month as they can. But then they shut down around the 10th of the month and wait until after the heavy duty contest judging where they pick SF's, Finalists, and winners. When that's done, they return to EP's

Don't know if BP is done for the day, but they just added about 150 EP's. Apparently these were from the 9th and 10th. If so they average about 75 a day. Hope you got some of these.

No EPs for a few days, but they are up to Jan 12. Maybe we'll see more or more likely they'll wait until Dec is closed out. I've predicted before and more times than not BP has done the opposite.

Got one on the 16th. However, the photo that I got a gold on for December was not even given an EP until the last and final day of judging. A lesson to be learned. It ain't over 'till is's over. Chin and carry on...

They may have just finished the 19th. Approximately 30 EPs were added and then things went quiet. Perhaps they are on lunch break. Given the short month, I expect they'll try for more.

More EPs to report. They returned to judging and added about another 250 ranging up through the 22nd. Hope you all got some of them.

It looks like they have finished with the first pass on Jan EPs. time will tell if there will be a second pass. Since they resumed judging after the Dec contest ended, they have added about 1500 EPs. Good luck to all.

Well, as I expected, the judges were not very impressed with my water works. I dabbled all month with water because I could not get outside to do much. Unless I luck out on the second pass through, it is slim pick'ens for me. Oh well, es la vida.

It does look like more EPs are coming. Don'r know if its a second pass or just finishing. However, EP's from early Jan does suggest it might be a second look. Good luck to all.

I was lucky in the second pass through. In all I got 13 for sure and maybe one more but it already had an EP so I can't tell. That's ok. My dabbling with water was not totally in vain. Really messy but not in vain.

I had one entry in January. It's not going anywhere and shame on BP for that. It's one of the main reasons I have dropped out of the contest and probably won't be back, although I will keep my website. I am extremely tired of it all.

Susan, they went thru the 2nd round earlier. I think they are done with the January EPs. And based on Bill Johnson's on-going review of the EPs, I think the EP rate for January was higher than in December, which is a good thing.
