We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) All-Sky Imaging and Medium Imaging Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey third data release. The overlap between these two surveys is roughly 450deg^2^. Of 25362 galaxies (with SDSS spectroscopy) in the range 0.0<z<0.3 detected by GALEX, there are 215 galaxies with L>2x10^10^L{sun} at 1530{AA} (observed wavelength).
