Submissions for the 2022 LUG yearbook are due soon (10 Feb). There are 
some submissions, but it ought to have more.

Information about the yearbook is here: http://leica-users.org/yearbook/
Instructions for submitting pictures are here: 
http://leica-users.org/yearbook/submitting.html

Here is the summary (quoted from those instructions for submitting):
-------------------------------------------------
Submissions are due by email to yearbook at leica-users.org by 10 February 
2023. Anyone who believes that they have taken at least 100 photographs 
with Leica gear (and thus understands what "Leica photography" means) 
can participate. You need not be a current or former member of the LUG.

What to submit (short version):

Tell us who you are and where you live. You wouldn't believe how much 
time we have spent in past years trying to figure out where 
photographers live, when they don't tell us. We don't like code names or 
#handles. If you don't tell us where you live and I can't figure it out 
quickly, I will write that you live in Lower Slobbovia or something like 
that. Or Phobos and Deimos.

Attach 2 images that have enough resolution. 3000x3000 is enough.

Provide captions for each. We like it when you give technical details.

We encourage you to provide 100 words or so of background, local color, 
or explanation. In past years, not enough people have done this. We 
really want to know how you made the picture, where it was taken, and so 
on. Please don't be shy.

There will be no judging or refereeing or rejection. We will print the 
images that you submit if they are of adequate technical quality. Look 
over recent yearbooks to see what technical quality can be achieved and 
try to make images that good.

The book will be published using the Blurb print-on-demand system, so 
there is no requirement that you buy a copy of the book. See sections 
below for image preparation and submission guidelines.
