But that is a good idea. Maybe an ambitious person will try to do it. DUer Celebration has pinned a thread listing the winners here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10364949

You could use the search function, I guess.

It usually gets posted to GD with a link back to the photography group because they sink so fast.

If you want to go very far back I would use the site search function as it is an active group.

in GD with a link to that post in the group now. You could try searching in both places. I would start in the photo group and use some form of Win as the terms. They are usually posted soon after the contest finishes.

Thanks for the suggestions.

"Copse" looks so bleak foreboding, and desolate... or to put it another way: "Winter". Love it.

All are great though. DU has such wonderful talent.
