Are you a photographer? Do you like taking pictures of stuff? Do you have an obsession with organizing and photographing things from above?
If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes!" then we've got a contest for you! It's time for the "2023 BYC Holiday Flat-Lay Photo" contest! Set your display up, get up high (within reason, we don't need people climbing their Christmas Trees), and take some pictures.
