I added an astrophoto and categorized it as #YBS24Open. If astrophotography is better categorized in nature, please let me know. In that case I believe I can delete the entry and resubmit it.

I wouldn't do that. Change the tag if you want to but deleting and replacing the image in the pool is rather frowned upon.
I can't advise about your tag choice - it seems appropriate to me. Flickr staff never comment on tag/ category choices in my experience.

Hello, I have photos I'm considering which are public speakers at microphones and also photos of musicians on stage in performance, including vocalists at microphones. Would these categories be best suited to the 'Open' category, since they are not really portraits? Just want to get it right before I post. Thanks!! (And yes, I'm aware only one photo can be submitted... I just haven't made up my mind yet. thanks again!)

Just one photo total this year, it seems. Am I remembering correctly that last year it was one per category?
Not complaining, just double checking my memory/

No it has always just been one for Your Best Shot - I think you might be thinking of World Photography Day as that was one per category...

The rules are very misleading. There are 6 categories and It says we can submit one photo for each category but the group is still set to only one submission per user. Can we submit more than one image or not?

Stupid question, should a tag be "#YBS24Portrait" or "YBS24Portrait"?

Not a stupid question at all. Flickr have been a little inconsistent here. But it makes no difference in tag searches. Both should return the same picture with or without the #, and this is how (I assume) Flickr go about collating all the submissions.

Hi! The group is for photos uploaded in 2024. While we technically allow photos that have been taken at any point, the true spirit of Your Best Shot is to submit a photo that was taken this year. This also factors into the judging process.

If the photo date will later be a factor in the judging process you are effectively creating A and B priority classes after you first say the photo date does not matter!?
So, for example if anyone submits an analog photo/negative scan of a picture taken in 1990 and pretends the photo was taken in 2024 it would get treated as a priority photo when it should not be...

That wouldn't be very nice to people who get their favourite shot of the year at a New Year's Eve party. As much as I love Flickr, I still would not want to interrupt a fun party to go off and upload a photo and put it in a contest. Better to do it "tomorrow" ... but wait, that's 2025!
Flickr is just trying to be nice here, and the nice thing for people to do in return is Be Nice.
No matter what the rules are, Non-Nice people will find ways to defeat them. Flickr is trying to make their lawyers happy while at the same time reassure you that they are going to do all they reasonably can do to detect the Non-Nice people and not give them the prizes.

 What *you* consider to be your best shot is what your entry is. It's why this annual contest is so interesting. Photographers from all skill levels post what they consider to be their very best image of the year. It's a window to everyone's best effort, for whatever reason they have for thinking that way!

I posted my shot correctly tagged I hope….two people have since faved that shot from a few months ago..my question is are we supposed to be faving and commenting on these photos and does their new popularity count towards it being one of the winning shot.. I was never that bright so please forgive my question if it’s a stupid one 😏

We ordinary members can't speak for Flickr staff but I believe we can be reasonably certain that "popularity" will not factor into the judging process. Just enjoy the group. Fave, comment if you feel inclined to.
BTW, your excellent marble shot does not have the correct tags currently. You need to add #YBS24Open and #YBS24ThroughHerLens separately.

Hi,
Go to your photo, scroll down to click "Add tags".
Write "YBS24Urban"
Press Enter (or Go) on your keyboard
Press "Done" button
Hope this helps.

I added the tag.
My theory is you forgot to press the ENTER key when you typed the tag. Not just the Done button. You literally have to press the ENTER key.

Hello,
I know that the photo must have been uploaded to Flickr in 2024.
That is logical.
But - my question - can a photo that was taken in fall 2023 but uploaded to Flickr in 2024 participate here?
Greetings, adinia

Hi,
I took a photo in 2024, but I didn’t get a chance to upload it to Flickr until today, January 1st, 2025. The photo’s EXIF data clearly indicates it was taken in 2024, although the upload date is now 2025. I have also added it to this group’s pool and tagged it appropriately.
Could you please confirm if there will be any issues regarding the date for the competition? I would greatly appreciate your clarification or approval.
Thank you for your time and understanding!

 my idle youth:
From the front page of the group:
SELECTION OF WINNERS: On or about January 31, 2025 a panel of judges composed of Flickr staff appointed by Sponsor will select the winners (the “Judging Panel”) from among all eligible Submissions. The Judging Panel will determine the winners based on the following selection criteria: originality, creativity, and skill. The winners will be notified by SmugMug Inc. on or about January 31, 2025. Incomplete entries will not be accepted. The number of eligible entries will determine the odds of winning. In Sponsor’s sole discretion, a selected winner may be required to forfeit a prize and an alternate winner may be selected in accordance with these Official Rules from among the remaining eligible entries for that prize if selected winner (i) is unreachable, (ii) declines or cannot accept, receive or use the prize for any reason, or (iii) fails to comply with these Official Rules.
