Submit a Photo |Rules |Tips |Questions |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 ***
Submissions dropped off just a bit in this week (perhaps in the wake of our oddball Sun ‘n Fun schedule), but thankfully the quality of reader photos is as high as ever. We realize we say this a lot, but it bears repeating: You really are missing some terrific photos if you don’t visit AVweb‘s home page and check out all the bonus photos that don’t fit here. (And for those who may not have realized it: You can see large-size versions of all the pics in the slideshow by clicking on them.)
| Air and Water Festival Rene Benzonana of Grand-Lancy, Geneva (Switzerland) must surely be related to frequent "POTW" contributor Gilbert Benzonana – and even though he didn’t mention it in the comments for this photo, we’ll be tucking an extra hat into this week’s shipment for Gilbert, who’s come oh-so-close to being in the top spot too many times to taunt him by sending a hat to the same address without including an extra! ("Taken during the ‘Bol d’or’ race on the Lake of Geneva," Rene tells us.) |
| Yak 18T at Sunset The RA-Aus fly-in at Narromine, NSW had been a great event, but Phil Gower of Toowoomba, Queensland (Australia) was ready to leave after bad weather delayed departures for a day or two. "Finally, on the Tuesday afternoon after Easter, a westerly came up and blew it all away to the east," writes Phil, leaving his Yak "pointed to a getaway on Wednesday morning." | ||||
| Sunrise Supercub What better way to follow a sunset than with a sunrise? Rusty Eichorn of Grand Rapids, Minnesota delivers quite ably, serving up this shot of his ’76 Supercub sitting patiently while the morning fog clears. | ||||
| Wassercapi Memorial to Fallen Airmen We weren’t familiar with this monument before this photo from Dennis Karoleski of Portsmouth, New Hampshire showed up in our submission box – but what a tribute. This shot was taken on "a cold, windy December day on the Wassercapi," Dennis tells us.

| MVFR Daniel Valovich of Hot Springs, Arkansas flies us home this week with a wildlife photo that could almost be mistaken for a painting – a "great blue heron landing on foggy Lake DeGray, Arkansas." | ||||
You’ll find more reader-submitted photos in the slideshow on AVweb‘s home page, many of which we really do wish we could’ve run here. It’s a great crop this week, so please – go look!
And click here to submit your own photos to “POTW.”

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 or send us an e-mail.
