A quick rundown of the details
Your Best Shot is a chance for you to share your very favorite photo, taken this past year. Make sure the photo you submit was shared to Flickr sometime in 2024. There are five categories this year to compete in, but you can only submit one single photo to this contest so choose your category wisely!

Introducing the categories!
In order to have your photo be eligible for consideration by our judges, you must add ONE of the following tags (keywords) to your photo.
- People and Portrait Photography – Tag: YBS24Portrait – This category includes all forms of portrait photography, including family portraits, headshots, and fashion photography.
- Wildlife and Nature Photography – Tag: YBS24Nature – Photos of the natural world, including wildlife, flora, fauna, and landscapes.
- Urban Photography – Tag: YBS24Urban – Candid shots of everyday life, urban landscapes, and photojournalism.
- Open – Tag: YBS24Open – A fan favorite! If your photography refuses to be labeled then this one’s for you. The open category includes everything else not captured in the categories above.
- Through her/their lens – We encourage women and non-binary photographers to add YBS24ThroughHerLens or YBS24ThroughTheirLens as a tag to their main contest submission in addition to the main category tag they choose. For example, women and non-binary photogs can tag their submission with YBS24Nature and YBS24ThroughHerLens OR YBS24ThroughTheirLens.
