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." Want to see your photo on AVweb.com?

*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
"POTW" submissions climb back into the skies this week,
with more great photos rolling into our submission box. So many
new photos, in fact, that we're running a little behind this week, so
we'll jump right in with little fanfare. This week's top photo is
also our "suggested desktop wallpaper of the week," and it comes to us
from the prolific Josh Cawthra.

Springtime in Alaska
Ah, springtime! Josh Cawthra
of Fairhope, Alabama snapped this pic in Lake Hood, where the frost has
lifted and Piper Cubs are gearing up for flying season.
Josh has submitted some fantastic photos to our contest over the last
several months, and we're very happy to (finally!) send him one of our
brand-new sandstone AVweb ball caps. At least he'll have
something to keep the sun from his eyes while he's out there shooting
more pics for us!
(We're never satisfied. We know.) |

En Route from Whitehorse, BC to Anchorage, AK
Speaking of Alaskans and airplanes and great-looking photos — here's an
incredible in-flight shot from John Payne
of Anchorage, Alaska. |

"Age 65 Rule?" Puh-lease.
At 103 years old (104 this Sunday!), Rose Marie Schiltz took her
first flight in a brand-new Cirrus SR22-G3.
Thanks to Cirrus Design's Kate Dougherty
(of Duluth, Minnesota), who took time to submit this photo — probably
knowing there was no way we could pass it up. As Kate points out,
Rose is seven months older than human flight, so (to our way of
thinking), it's the airline industry that's finally catching up to
her lead.
Happy 104th, Rose! And to the rest of you —
send more
pictures! :) |

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.
