Today’s gallery, after much review, includes my favorite door photos from 2022. I hope others have joined in this tradition, which Norm began in 2018, for the last Thursday Doors post of the year.
While this is the last week that this challenge will run during 2022 you can still have some fun-with-doors before the New Year begins. Tomorrow, our now annual Thursday Doors Badge Badge Contest begins. Create a badge and post it to your blog or send it to me. I’ll arrange the badges for voting and the image will be chosen by the people who Participate In this challenge. Yes, that’s a change from previous years.
The complete rules are listed below:
- The badge should mention Thursday Doors and be something that conveys a doors-related message. It can be a photo, a drawing, a collage, or anything else that works.
- The image should be applicable to all seasons, as we will use the badge for a year.
- The badge should be square or a little taller than wide. Otherwise, it’s going to be squished to fit in my sidebar (where it anchors the upcoming URL each week).
- Your entry MUST BE an image you have the rights to share, and you must be willing and able to extend those rights publicly. I will be inviting everyone to use the badge. Note: If you need to include an attribution, add it to your image or send it to me and I’ll include it in the caption.
- You may list your name or your blog URL on the image but try to not go overboard – this is about the doors.
- Post the badge image on YOUR blog and leave a link to that post in a comment below or on Any of My Posts Between December 16th and December 30th. Note, a previous post mentioned an earlier cut-off date. These are official).
- If you do not have a blog, email the image to noFacilities-at-gmail-dot-com (you know how that works).
- You do not have to be a regular Thursday Doors contributor to create a badge, but you should have a nodding acquaintance with the challenge. Regular readers are certainly welcome. However, as indicated above, Only Thursday Doors Participants will be Invited to Vote. They are the people who will be displaying the badge. It’s only fair that they get to choose.
- One entry per person. If you submit multiple entries, I will include the last one submitted as your contest entry.
Timing – Your link must be posted, or your email must be received by 11:59 pm Friday, December 30th (North American Eastern Time).
Process – I will assemble the images for review and post a survey for voting on Sunday, January 1st. The survey will be open until 6 p.m. EST, on Tuesday, January 3rd.
The participant-selected badge will be unveiled on Thursday, January 5th, the day Thursday Doors returns to normal operation after our holiday break. We will formally retire our delightful 2022 badge at that time. Note: If I receive an abundance of entries, I will arbitrarily limit the entries to 10 or perhaps 12, based on the order in which the comments were posted / emails received. I will also discard any images considered inappropriate.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
