Folks,

Let us distract you for a moment from the holiday preparations: we still haven’t run out of good news! And we can’t wait to share them with you!🎊🎄🎁

Each of you can get a card with a personal creative review of the year 2023. 

That’s how you can do it!

Folks,

we've considered different ways to thank our active authors. These brave people who don't forget about their audiences despite all the holiday fuss, all the gifts, mistletoe, and roasted birds!🎁🎅🎄

For a month we'll disable ads for all the LJ authors who remain active from December 14 till January 8! Those who have the Professional package will have it extended for a month.

You can learn more about the ad-free month in the LJ FAQ.

With love ❤️🔥,
LJ Team

Folks,

We've got a couple things to tell you: how to decorate your blog for the winter time and how to share photos only with the nearest and dearest. Let's go!

Folks,

each photo is a kind of a time machine — it can deliver us to the past and remind about long forgotten events and sensations.

We're inviting you to take part in the 2023 Photochallenge that will go on till December 3, 2023. All participants* will be rewarded with camera-wielding userheads.

I wanna participate. What should I do?

1. Pick a few (or all five) photos from the selection on the challenge page. Is the selection not to your liking? Then just generate another one!
2. Tap Share in post and accompany the photo with whatever text you want: where or when it was taken, who you were with, what the weather was like, how you felt... Or maybe tell the story of the items and people depicted. Tell it the way you enjoy!
3. Publish the entry. The #photochallenge2023 hashtag will be added to it automatically. It will also help you find other participants' posts.

Join us! Accept the photochallenge!

Rewards are issued every week!

Detailed challenge rules

* Participants' posts must comply with the challenge rules
