Where is the site or link where attendees can send in their own quality photos of the Art Fair?

I appreciated the variety of street musicians this year. My impression was that there was more music on the street than I've seen in 10-15 years. Welcome back! Now it would be great to have some of the performers as well - magicians, slack line performers, and more. These people add a lot of ambiance to the fairs. It also seemed like a lot of them were local high school students with a lot of talent.
