Announcing the "My historic year" 2023 photo contest

Pick a favorite photo from your year of historic sites and events, post it to social, take a screenshot of the post, and upload it here. The deadline to enter is January 15, 2024.
We'll pick one or more winners and award gift certificates to and products from The History List store. We'll also post some to social media.
Here's how to enter:
1.  Choose a picture taken in 2023 at a historic site or event. If there are people in the photo, everyone pictured must have given you their consent for photos of them to appear online. (In the case of kids, that means parents or guardians.) No filters or retouching; cropping is okay.
You can enter more than one photo if there are multiple sites or events you want to post.

2.  Upload your photo to any one or more of your social media accounts and tag @TheHistoryList. (If you don't have a social media account, ask a friend to post it for you.) See the example of the photo I took of the Washington Monument in the evening after a major storm blew through the area. (The sky looked like that for less than a minute.  I was very glad I stopped my car and dashed out to take the photo.)

3. Take a photo or screenshot of the social post with the tag and submit it here by  midnight Eastern January 15. 

We've enjoyed receiving your photos in our earlier contests, including our Fourth of July photo contest of a couple of summers ago, and we're looking forward to seeing what you did in 2023 to make your year historic.
