“This year we celebrate the day with a punctuation photo contest.”

As a reminder, I am an ace proofreader and offer “Last Pass” proofreading services, for those who are wondering if the proofreading you already paid for/did is sufficient (take my word for it: it’s not). https://sallyember.com/last-pass-proofreading-available/ for more information, rates and guarantees.

Here are the rules:

PREPARING THE PHOTOS

Take three photos of incorrectly punctuated signage (stores, billboards, businesses, road signs, public transit, etc.), each showing a different punctuation error.
Name the punctuation error(s) in each photo (there may be multiple errors, as seen in some of the examples attached).
One entry of three photos per person.
You must be in the photos. (see me in the “Member’s Testimonials” photo attached.) Selfies are OK. Photos with Photoshopped heads will be disqualified.
Each photo must contain a caption, which will be considered when judging your entry. Be creative.
Photos must be submitted in .JPG format and be no more than 2 MB each.
The file name for your photos must include your last name in CAPS. For example: RUBIN photo #1.jpg, RUBIN photo #2.jpg, etc.

SUBMITTING THE PHOTOS
