Detailed Instructions

The CWPT's New Digital Photo Contest requires you to add a "tag" to each photo that you would like to include in the contest. Your entry is not complete until you finish this step. Tags in Flickr™ are simple text descriptors used to categorize your photos so that they are easier to find in the future.

1. On the photo that you would like to include in the contest, select the "Add a Tag" link on the right side of the page.
