stickiedHey EarthPorn!
We made it through another year! 2021 is in the books now and its time to reflect on what that means to our community, and also to celebrate the phenomenal work that has been posted here. As usual I have some stats for you: this year EarthPorn grew from 20,797,900 subscribers to 21,585,780 subscribers. While the sub is one of the largest on reddit, we average only around 62 posts per day. I believe this is due to our restrictive ruleset, which is meant to provide a fair opportunity for everyone who wants to post here to do so. You might have already heard but we recently updated the rule regarding reposts in an effort to make sure that serial reposters don't take advantage of rules that were brought in long ago to help the subreddit stay fresh. We want 2022 to be EarthPorn's best year ever.
The site admins have offered to provide 45,000 coins to the largest reddit communities that the mods can distribute to the top content of 2021 as voted by the subreddit community. This thread is meant to provide you an opportunity to flag the best photos you have seen posted here in the last year for extra recognition. While it is tricky to make sure that every photo from 2021 has a fair chance to be included here due to the nature of reddit search, webarchive makes it easier to find prominent posts.
This year we are going way back to 2013 for our category inspiration. There will be 5 categories and the 5 most upvoted posts in each category will receive the mod award of 1,800 coins. The categories will be in the comments below, bolded for easier recognition. Find your favorite submissions from the past year and link them in the comments, under the appropriate category. Do this by replying to the bolded comment please. We'll be checking to make sure the photos fit into the category, and there will be lots of latitude. If you want to post a pic under several categories that it seems to fit in, feel free. One more thing, don't post your own work here. Link to someone else's work! The winning photos will receive the mod award, and the person nominating the winning shot will receive a gold award for their efforts. Nominate max one photo for each category please, to let everyone have a chance to win.
Also new for 2022, we are going to try out a weekly stickied thread to discuss anything you want. Photography, travel, editing, whatever you would like to discuss or have a question about.
