What's this all about?
Picture Fresno is a photo journey of life in and around Fresno. Each week, members of the community submit photos in response to a theme or challenge, and a panel of judges selects a weekly favorite. Together, these photos tell the story of Fresno.
The greatest email in the world
We'll be tweeting, facebooking and promoting the heck out of the photos submitted each week, but we'll also be sending out a sweet email to announce winners, new themes and more. Don't miss out!
