That time of year again.
Here are the rules:
1. One submission per contestant (all additional shots should be submitted in the expected B-Side thread);
2. Photos have to have been taken in 2012;
3. Submission period will run until December 20th (photo must be posted, not linked);
4. Following the submission period, the Committee will choose five photos as the finalists (to be posted on the 22nd);
5. Voting on the finalists will be open to all with one vote per participant (votes can be submitted by PM or by post on this thread any time between the 22nd and the 31st); and
6. The winner will be announced on January 1st and will receive a small token prize in recognition of this incredible achievement.
One final tweak, you're allowed to nominate a picture taken by someone else, and that picture is eligible for the contest and does not count as the photographer's submission. It does count as your submission. The prize would go to the actual photo taker, not the submitter.
Good luck, and bring on the pics.
