John, thanks for starting us off and thanks for the enthusiasm but … your picture falls outside the dates for the competition which, as the topic header shows, runs from today, 27/12/2020 to 09/01/2021.
If you create an aerial image from a location not yet on the DRONESCENE MAP make sure you add it!
It’s easy enough, plenty of people will help if it’s your first time, each location added builds towards a badge, you will be helping others with the age-old question “where can I fly” and, most importantly:
A DRONESCENE ENTRY GETS YOU AN EXTRA VOTE IN THIS COMPETITION from our mystery Dronescene judge!
Very nice, welcome to GADC and to the competition - but one entry per person only please
So please pick the one you reckon is best. And, if you go out later during the competition’s run and take something even better you can substitute that as your entry!
