It's that time of year again! It's the Best of 2007 photo challenge. Please read this entire post before submitting your entry.
Thank you and have fun!!!
Here are the rules.

Each picture submitted had to be shot in the year 2007. It can be a picture we haven't seen yet, but it must have been taken in 2007.

We have 6 categories:
Best of 2007 Portrait
Best of 2007 Macros
Best of 2007 Architechure
Best of 2007 Still Life
Best of 2007 Landscapes
Best of 2007 Wildlife

To Enter: Anyone who wants to participate chooses only 1 category to enter and only 1 photo for that category. Put in the title of your entry post "Best of 2007 Entry(insert category here)". That way we can organize them appropriately to keep them separate and in order.
Example: Say you wanted to enter a photo for the category Portrait. In the title of the post, you would put "Best of 2007 Entry Portrait".

How to vote: Write the word "vote" first in the comment section.
Only 1 vote per category, per person. Feel free to comment on any entry post during the challenge.

Special note: I am not going to count the votes in the "vote" section. The reason being is that I am not able to track who the votes are coming from, and if someone has voted more than once in one category. Please continue to use the vote section to get the entries to the front page (that's important), but if you want your vote to count, please write the word "vote" first in your comment. I hope I explained that ok. :)
(!!!ATTENTION!!! Anonymous Hero votes will not be counted due to the nature of cheating. You must have an account to vote. Sorry.)

To view all entries: Go to the Bi-weekly challenge section.

Entries and voting for this challenge will take place for a 2 week period (just the same as a bi-weekly theme).

I will personally make something lame for the winners myself. Afterwards, I will send the lame prize to the winners, if they choose to receive one(this is an option).

All submissions are due by 11:59pm(PST) on Sunday, January 20,2008. Any submissions after that time will not be entered in to the challenge.

The next theme will start on Sunday, January 27,2008 as planned.

Voting period will end at 11:59pm(PST)on Saturday, January 26,2008. No vote will be accepted after this time.

Winners will be announced on Sunday, January 27,2008 after votes are counted.

Have fun and good luck!

  • Blizzard...We appreciate you doing this every year! May 2007 be the best of the best yet! Newbies may want to be advised that the submissions will trickle in all during the time period, so might want to wait a while to place that VOTE, to be sure that everybody's entry it in, and you get to see them all for each category....

    BSV said what I was going to say. *Wait until the end to vote*. People vote right away then they regret it later if something comes in later that they like. You can comment on the shots but only vote at the end. Blizzard thanks for the hard work you put into it. We really do appreciate it. It is always so fun! You are announcing the votes on my birthday!!! Buggin you can vote one time per catagory!!

I boycott this year's event unless you allow *EACH* personality to enter!!! (Okay, maybe boycott is a strong word...but I will hold a grudge.)

    Thanks, Blizzard, for all of your hard work! This is always so hard to decide what to put in as my entry, and then to vote for each category is even harder.

    Thanks, Blizz, for all your hard work. Again, I'd like to say I think you should enter the contest also. The votes are there in plain sight so I don't think anyone could complain of an unfair advantage. Or are you not entering because you know what the lame prizes are? You know I'm just kidding and thanks again.

  • Mike, at the time you posted yours, the challenge wasn't "official." I have added Best of 2007 as the challenge, and added your story to the challenge entries.
