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 ***
It's spring! And although half the AVweb
staff are climates too cold to notice, we're breaking out the sunblock
and jams to celebrate. Yes, we still have a few pairs of jams —
but what do you care? You don't have to look at us when we've got
all these great reader-submitted photos to shuffle through!
Add your photos to the mix! Submit them
here, and
you might see them on AVweb next Thursday morning!

Where Are We?
Richard Rice of North Texas
Skydiving Center in Garland, Texas asks the question — and answers it in
the
full-size version of this week's winning photo.
Larry Portman sent this photo in to our contest on Richard's
behalf, telling us Richard isn't quite as caught up in the 'Net as the
rest of the world. For making time to send it in, Larry, we're
sending you two hats — one for Richard and one for yourself.
Or two for yourself, if Richard really isn't on the Web. (Just
sayin'...) |

"Saratuga"
Y'know, we've been doing this site just long enough that we could
almost run a feature story on airplane owners and their
lawnmowers. Dr. David Miller
of Newburgh, Indiana has taken the parallel to new heights by
refurbishing his "old Sears Craftsman riding lawnmower ... to look like
the Saratoga II HP." (Too bad you can't replace engine parts for
free at Sears for the life of the plane!) |

Purple Lady Waiting for Spring
Duncan Marshall of Chelsea, Québec
(Canada) jokes, "The lake may be long enough — but is it wide enough?"
(After eyeing Duncan's photo, we're ready and rarin' for Sun 'n Fun.) |

Sunset over the Black Forest
Brad Marzari sees us out this week
with a spectacular shot taken at 3,000 feet. Kudos to Brad and the
balloonist for all the hard work they put into getting the awesome shots
we found in our submission box this week.
Want more? You'll find more than a dozen bonus pics at AVweb's
home page, in our "POTW" slideshow.

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.
