Hi, I also went to login and forgot my password. Had a lot of trouble to change it and add Photo, then once I thought I got it all right I tried to view it but don't see it anywhere. I have a VERY unusual picture of a ( Hold Punch Cloud ) with sun behind it, AWESOME but cant seem to get it on your site. ? Thanks Clyde
What the heck, is no one reading the terms of this contest. You are giving away your images to Yankee Publishing, Inc. The terms read all images become properety of Yankee Publishing which they can do what they want with... make money off of you for free for a chance to win a cheap book and little glass suncatcher. Give you the rights to my photographs...I don't think so Yankee Publishing:.. NO! Let's see if you leave my comment up or remove it!
Sir, Thanks for writing. We do have the right to remove comments on our own site, especially taunting comments that make us or, especially, our readers uncomfortable. However, this may be a good opportunity to address our  loyal Almanac readers . . .
Rest assured that this is not our intention at all. The contests are just meant to be fun as our Almanac community has long enjoyed this free photo-sharing feature. Given our "old" age, we have a massive photo archive of our own--plus, content going back hundreds of years, so we are quite content-rich and do not rely on third-party content such as these photos.
Further, these contests are meant for amateurs, not professionals. If we ever did see a photo that we thought might fit a publication, we would certainly ask our reader and provide equitable compensation. We have to create legal terms because the photos may be shared across the web and it's largely out of your control (and ours), but we will never use your photos for any professional purposes without request. To our knowledge, this has never happened. We just don't tend to work this way.
In terms of photos, you can use our photo gallery for free, not just to enter a contest. We used to offer email sharing but this has proven too cumbersome. However, you can share your photos via social media. We also share some of the great photos by our readers online and credit them.
We have an editorial staff of five and this is a smal business so it's not a huge prize; we give away the annual book that we publish ourselves. Â We happen to value it. -We hope you do, too! -Your OFA editors
Thanks to my sister Linda Porter. For sharing this sunset contest, I've seen some beautiful pictures.
I have logged, filled out everything, then click upload photo and it goes to your home page and won't let me do anything. I have tried about 6 times. What do I do??
