Voting is now CLOSED. Winners are being calculated. 

• 
  Instructions:

• Instructions: You may vote for ONE image in each category that you wish to win the category.
• To place your vote, click the Heart Icon in the bottom left corner of the image. If you click more than one heart, it will change your vote to the most recent image you’ve voted on.
• To leave a comment, click the Comment Icon in the bottom left corner of the image. You may leave comments/feedback on as many images as you’d like and we encourage you to do so generously!
• Please Note: Some image thumbnails are appearing pixelated. Please click to enlarge the image(s) to see the official entry without sizing manipulation.

• Leaving Comments / Feedback

• Leaving comments is much easier this year thanks to our newly updated system! Please have fun with this! You are able to leave comments on any photograph. We encourage you to do this GENEROUSLY. 
• Your comments are anonymous to the recipient (and the public), however administrators can see all comments and their authors.
• Should you wish the entrant knows the comment came from you, you are welcome to include your name. Please know there is a possibility entrants will save any quotable positive feedback to use as a part of their business marketing in the future. That said, we do encourage you to leave your name to allow them this opportunity, but it is your choice.
• Kind, constructive criticism is encouraged and will be most helpful to your peers. In addition, this type of communication helps elevate our community and industry as a whole.
