A few people had similar questions about adding observations to the project, so let me try and clarify:
This is a manual project, which means that in order to contribute observations, you'd need to join the project, and than add each observation to this project manually (just like you would to other gall projects).
After joining the project, it will appear on your project list. Now, every time you upload an observation that you'd like to include in it, simply choose it from your list of projects. You can do it as you upload the observations from your phone or your computer, or you could do it later, after you have already saved your observation.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Posting for @madily -
In celebration of the success thus far, and to push for a final weekend rally, the Gallformers.org team would like to sponsor the purchase of a Gall Week 2021 t-shirt at the end of Gall Week for the following:

-Top 3 Observers
-Top 3 Species Observed
-Top 3 Identifiers

One prize will be awarded per individual for a total of 9 unique participants receiving a t-shirt. Final counts will be determined on 10/15/21 to allow participants time to post and identify observations that are added to the project.
We will reach out to the winners via iNat DM to coordinate size, color choice, and shipping address.

I'm not sure where to begin. This week has been so incredible - this wonderful community came together to document galls from so many countries. But we'll get to some overview later on this week.
For now, THE TIME TO PHOTOGRAPH NEW GALLS HAS ENDED, but please continue to upload gall photos taken between 10/2-10/10. If you have time, please do it in the next few days, while people are still here, enjoying the beautiful diversity of galls.
Also, Gallformers.org team would like to sponsor the purchase of a Gall Week 2021 t-shirt at the end of Gall Week. Final counts will be determined on 10/15/21 - see the previous journal post.

Thank you all for joining the first Gall Week project! Together we created over 6K observations of over 700 species. Galls were documented in 28 states in the US and 15 additional countries. This is incredible because this whole project was born two weeks before Gall Week began. I've also written a short post about gall week, including some figures, here - https://www.bioblitz.club/post/gall-week-2021-recap.
I would like to thank everyone who helped identify the galls, a task that hasn't ended yet. In fact, when you have a minute, please make sure that all your observations have their host stated somewhere, preferably in the "host" field. That will make identification and analysis much easier.
@megachile from Gallformers.org has asked that I include a survey link for everyone who used their website for identification. They would love to get some feedback! "It would be very useful for us to learn what people who aren't on the team and were new to the whole thing we're able to get from the site." Link to the survey -

What's next? I don't know about you, but I'd like to do it again! Would you like to have Gall Week in Spring 2022? Some of the fall galls have spring gall generation; others occur only in the spring. It might be tricky to find a date that would fit different regions, so let's start a discussion in the comments.
