On May 22, 2019, Flickr was down for 24+ hours while moving a huge piece of infrastructure out of Yahoo’s data centers and into AWS. To make this downtime thing a little more entertaining, we planned a photo contest to give away a coupon for a free year of Flickr Pro to ten (10) lucky winners!

We want to send a big thank you to everyone who participated in our contest and helped make it a success! We were dazzled by the creativity of some of your entries.

Congratulations to the ten lucky winners of the free year of Flickr Pro! See the winning photos below!

Our panel of judges was composed of eight members of Flickr staff who chose the winning entries based on originality and how well they exemplified the contest requirements.

Congratulations to all!
