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 photos featured?Submit them here!

A quick note for submitters: If you’ve got severalphotos that you feel are “POTW” material, your best bet is to submitthem one-a-week! That gives your photos a greater chance of seeingprint on AVweb, and it makes the selection process a little easier onus, too. 😉

*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***

Last week, we reported that submissions had ebbed a bitin the wake of the holidays. It’s a common pattern for the firstof the year, but we were thrilled to see that AVweb readers hadtaken our plea for more submissions to heart, stuffing our contest entrybox with almost 100 photos.

On the Border at Sunset

TerryWallace of Sacramento, California writes, “Just prior tolaunch for Scottsdale, while parked at Brown Field, I caught the lightjust right.”

We’d have to agree. The combination of ominous storm clouds,fading afternoon light, and (waayyyy off in the distance) thatalluringly peaceful blue sky made Terry’s the stand-out photo this week.As a thank you for submitting our favorite photo of the week,we’ll be sending Terry one of our official AVweb baseball caps.

Speaking of baseball caps, we’re starting to run low. Thatmeans that a new print run and a new design are just around the corner.You can help us get there sooner by submitting your photosand winning all the current-style caps!

DA42 Turning on a Point Over L.A.

Peter Maurer of London, Ontario(Canada) snapped this dizzying shot on his way out of last autumn’s AOPAConference. Don’t let the lights fool you – it was a safe landing,but Peter used a 10-second exposure to get those trails into view in thephoto. With the anti-ice light providing a center point, thisphoto made our head spin – and very nearly earned Peter and his Diamondthe top spot in this week’s contest!
