Don't be put off by the title, even non-Reddit users are more than welcome to join! I'll try to post the same info here as I do on Reddit so nobody has to go over there to sign up.
Welcome one and all! It's that special time of year where the bounteous snow provided by mother nature melts away to reveal... what's that? A note on the ground? Written in Comic Sans. You lift it from the pavement with trembling fingers, and read it aloud, using your best Ólafur Darri Ólafsson voice: "Please print us and mail us to people you don't know! Signed, your photos."
If you've done this before, you pretty much know the drill. If you haven't, I strongly suspect everything you need to know is included in the FAQ (which I will post below). But please feel free to comment here or DM me if your questions are asked only infrequently.
But for our newcomers, the elevator pitch is: You get randomly assigned to mail a print to someone (or more than one person if you want), and you will also receive a print in the mail from someone. It's fun!
Key dates for this exchange:
March 1: Exchange sign-ups open
March 24: Exchange sign-ups close
March 25: "Last chance to back out" emails go out
March 29: Random assignments are made and distributed via email
May 9: Deadline for getting your print(s) in the mail to your recipient(s). But... get everything sent well before May 9th, yeah? Can we all agree that's a good plan?
May 19: Sticky thread opens for people to report missing prints, and emails go out to people who signed up as volunteers, to make sure they're still up for it
May 30: Window to report missing prints closes, and thread is locked
June 1: Volunteer assignments are randomly generated and distributed via email

Also... invite your loved ones to participate! Invite your HR department head! Invite your anime body pillow. No need to have a Reddit account to participate, because we are a progressive and tolerant bunch around here.

Spring 2025 Reddit Print Exchange Sign-Up
Hello, and thank you for signing up! I'm a huge believer in the importance of printing and sharing our photography, instead of letting it live life as a 2-inch square on Instagram. Participating in print exchanges like this helps make the community better for everyone! If you have any questions...
