2022 – March – Refraction

The new challenge features refraction

Ideally, each submission should contain a summary description of the subject in the file information, including the location of the subject, and relevant categories should be added to the files to enable other Commons users to find them and use them.

The challenge will remain open for submissions throughout March UTC.
