Past Winners
Each week, we go through dozens (and sometimes
hundreds) of reader-submitted photos and pick the very best to share
with you on Thursday mornings. The top photos are featured on
AVweb's home page, and one photo
that stands above the others is awarded an AVweb baseball cap as our
"Picture of the Week."
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
Once again, our electronic mailbag is full to
overflowing with reader-submitted photos of planes, airports, pilots,
passengers, gliders, RC gizmos, and pretty much anything else that you
could get off the ground and into the air.
We want to see your photos, too!
Click here to submit it to our weekly contest. The top winner
each week receives and an AVweb baseball cap and the google-eyed
adoration of hundreds of thousands of web surfers.

Early Sunday Morning
Donald Reid of Bumpass, Virginia has
submitted photos to us before, but this serene (if damp) morning photo
from last year's 10th Annual Virginia Regional EAA Fly-In makes him an
official "POTW" Contest winner. Thanks, Don — watch your mailbox
for a hat package in the next few days! |

Let's Go Have Some Fun!
Roy Uchman of Edmonton, Alberta
(Canada) gave this week's winner a run for the cap. In fact, the
competition was so close — and Roy submitted so many gorgeous aerial
photos in addition to this one — that we're going to send him a cap,
too! (We like to do that kind of thing once in a while.)
(Although this is a good opportunity to remind our submitters:
If you have multiple photos, you really do stand a better chance of
getting into the top spots if you submit only one photo per week.
Otherwise, you're competing against yourself and wedging out photos that
we might be able to run if you send them in later.) |

Made in the Shade
Chris Moon of Brampton, Ontario
(Canada) writes, "This lone Cherokee became a popular shady spot on a
hot February afternoon in Cromwell, New Zealand."
Ahh, the lazy, wonderful summer afternoons of airport sheep — ! |

A quick note for submitters: If you've got several
photos that you feel are "POTW" material, your best bet is to submit
them one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeing
print on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier on
us, too. ;)
A Reminder About Copyrights: Please take a moment to consider the
source of your image before submitting to our "Picture of the Week" contest.
If you did not take the photo yourself, ask yourself if you are indeed
authorized to release publication rights to AVweb. If you're uncertain,
consult the
POTW
Rules or
send us an e-mail.
