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?
Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.
*** THIS WEEK'S WINNERS ***
The run-up to AirVenture has begun! Getting ready
for the big show seems to affect everyone in aviation, including
"Picture of the Week" contenders: Only 64 submissions trickled in
this week, but even thought the quantity lagged, quality remained high.
In fact, this is the toughest time we've had picking which photos would
make it into the Thursday issue in the last several months. If
you're not already in the habit of visiting AVweb's home page
to view the bonus pictures in our slideshow, this would be a good week
to start. There are plenty of great photos to be found over there.

In the Light of the Moon
The moon was a recurring motif in many of this week's submissions.
Larry Raulston of Neosho, Missouri
made several attempts at catching pilot Kyle Franklin silhouetted
against the moon before this top-shelf photo caught him by
surprise. |

Powered Parachuting over Melbourne Beach, FL
"These powered parachute pilots were having a ball flying over the beach
a couple of months ago," writes Michael S.
Whaley of Melbourne, Florida. "The dome is an Air Force
optical tracking station used to track the unmanned and manned rocket
launches from Cape Canaveral, which is about 35 miles north." |

Father's Day Co-Pilot
Nick Pliam took aboard his five-year-old daughter Portia
as co-pilot for this Father's Day flight. "It was hard to say who
was prouder," writes photographer Vivian Lee,
of Los Altos, California. |

The End of the Rainbow
As we come to the end of another edition of "POTW,"
Theresa White of Midwest City,
Oklahoma delivers up our latest pot o' gold. |

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.
