Last call for Photoville NYC! The 13th annual free festival returned at the beginning of June with over 85 public art exhibitions, walking tours, panels and workshops. Flickr hosted happy hours and photo walks over the last two weeks and a great time was had! If you’d like a recap of Flickr at Photoville, check out our Flickr x Photoville group. And don’t forget, you have until June 16th to head over to the festival and enjoy the exhibits. If you have any photos from your trip to Photoville, make sure to add them to the Flickr x Photoville group!

The birthday celebration continues!
For 20 years, Flickr has been the go-to destination for photography enthusiasts, offering a platform to showcase and explore every kind of photography. To help mark the occasion, last month we shared this video with the Flickr community. If you missed it, make sure to take a look at this awesome video and the accompanying Flickr gallery and enjoy the amazing photos shared with us from Flickr members around the world!
A few favorite things from the Library of Congress
After 34 years with the Library of Congress, Jan Grenci, archivist and reference specialist for the Prints and Photographs Division, announced her retirement. Jan curated one final Flickr album to mark the event and we don’t want you to miss it. Check out Jan’s “A Few of my Favorite Things” album on the Library of Congress official Flickr site today!
Top tags for driving engagement
Last month we also shared some data we collected on popular tags and tags that are driving the most engagement on Flickr currently. As one of the internet’s first advocates for robust image tagging, we’re BIG fans of how tags can help you find new photos, new photographers, and new audiences for your work. If you haven’t checked it out yet, don’t miss our blog with trends and tips on using tags to improve your engagement on Flickr.
That’s it for now! Stay tuned to the Flickr blog for more announcements, photographer features and product updates!
