Your Best Shot 2016 Now Open For Submissions

We’ve just opened the Your Best Shot 2016 Group to submissions and will be accepting submissions through January 7th. Please upload your favorite photo to the group and share with the Flickr community as we celebrate the best photography from the past year. As a reminder, please ensure it is a Safe image uploaded to Flickr in 2016.

As the pool fills up, we encourage you to make galleries of your favorite photos and to create galleries fitting particular themes. You can share them in this discussion thread in the group and get further inspiration from your Flickr Fam.

Flickr staff will begin publishing galleries of our favorites in the next few weeks and throughout the new year. We’ll promote a number of the photos on the official Flickr account and on our social media channels to get more exposure for your work.

We hope you enjoy and we look forward to seeing what you share in the group.

Discover More

There are currently over 12.4 billion photos on Flickr, and we want you to see as many as possible. That’s why we’ve moved to a two-column feed! Not only can you discover more photos, but you can easily stay up to date on the activities of people you follow. We’ll also surface recommendations based on your favorite photos and Flickr featured photographers, so you can find photos and groups that match your interests. This new desktop feed matches the iOS and Android app feeds (plus some fun additional features), so switching between desktop and mobile will be more seamless than ever.

Preview Photos

With the new Preview feature, you can not only see how many photos people you follow have uploaded, but you can scroll through their photos right from your feed. Gone are the days of having to go to their page to see what you care about.

Enjoy Notifications

Tired of having to scroll through your feed to see your notifications? With the new notifications hub you will be alerted to activity (ex: photo faves and responses) no matter which page you’re on. And after many requests, we’re bringing you group notifications! Find out when new discussions are started and never miss a discussion response again. Don’t worry, if notifications become bothersome, they can also be muted.

Whether you’re a power user or a newbie, we hope you enjoy this update! Please send us any feedback you have so we can continue to improve the Flickr experience.
