Contest: Looking for parties in Flickr

As you might have seen, I’ve been having a great time making Galleries in Flickr, drawing on the collections of archives, special collections, museums, and related organizations. It all started with dogs, but then moved on to things like elephants, goats, typewriters, umbrellas, and, inevitably, more dogs.

I’ve been wanting to do a gallery of images showing parties or celebrations, but I’m afraid that a lot of you won’t have tagged those images with those kinds of terms. (When I start a gallery, I turn first to the ArchivesOnFlickr group and search there for my terms. Then I search through the images on the Commons, and my last resort is a general search of all of Flickr.)

So, I’m asking for all of you to send in links to your images on Flickr from your collections that show parties, celebrations, or just people having a good time. I’ll take the ones I like best and create a new Flickr gallery (or maybe two, if we get enough good submissions). I’ll leave this open until the day after Thanksgiving, so you’ve got plenty of time to come up with some suggestions. Note that these must be images from your archival collections. (I guess I could start a second gallery for current images of parties in the archives. Do you think we could find 18 of those? ;) )

So, the contest has officially begun! Post links to your images that best show people having fun, and you may win a place of honor in one of my galleries!
