Current POTW Winner | Past POTW Winners
It’s uncommon for the jaded staff of AVweb to gush and fawn over any of the stories we cover – but you’ve watched us do it all summer with regards to “Picture of the Week.” Not only is the number of submissions climbing steadily, but the competition is getting more fierce, too. Of the 94 pictures we received this week, at least 30 were seriously considered for a Top Three spot. (Normally there are only 10 photos in the final round!) Nevertheless, Tom Barrows of Indianapolis, Indiana rose to the top of the heap, narrowly edging out some other (truly amazing) images. When you see Tom’s Oshkosh photos, you’ll agree that his first-prize AVweb baseball cap was well earned.
For those keeping score, Indiana has supplanted Michigan as the unofficial “POTW” submission capital of the world. And the world’s no small place, with more international entries coming into POTW headquarters these days!
Due to privacy issues, AVweb does not publish e-mail addresses of readers who submit photos.

“… #&@! …”
We’ve all been there – but Mathieu Chassaing of Gallargues, France
has the photos to prove it. He writes, “Down in Mali. The good
old Pratt died on me.” And yes, Mathieu did get the sympathy vote … .
