'Dublin's Got Talent': Share Your Creative Work With Patch

DUBLIN, CA ? For a long time, we?ve been asking Patch readers to submit photos of their hometowns, and you haven?t disappointed.

From a deer tending to her fawn in the Alamo Oaks forest; to sunlight-dappled Las Trampas hills; to Six Pillars Park on a misty morning after the rain; to snow-capped Mt. Diablo; to cats and dogs, you?ve shown the beauty, joy, and creativity that abounds in the area.

But photography is just one aspect of that creative magic.

We want to broaden our ?Photo of the Day? series to ?Poem of the Day,? ?Painting of the Day,? ?Musing of the Day.? Let?s call it ?Dublin?s Got Talent.? We?re open to all kinds of submissions: fiction, personal essays, poetry, fine arts - even a YouTube video of you beatboxing or playing the cello.

In addition to providing local news, we hope to be a community forum for the arts. If we like what we see, you could get a top spot on our newsletter, and share your work with thousands of readers.

Just make sure your submission is your own, and it adheres to the Patch content standards: basically, keep it clean, friendly and non-promotional. See here for more information.

Email your submissions to michael.wittner@patch.com.
