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? Click here to submit it to our weekly contest.

*** THIS WEEK’S WINNERS ***

We hope you have a little cheese handy this morning,because we’re about to break out the whine.

Ready?

Picking this week’s top photos was tough!

Seriously. Although we had only 58 new submissionsto choose from this week, our “top contender” pile was ridiculous.There couldn’t have been more waffling about which photos should make itinto the AVwebFlash if we’d done this edition over breakfast.

Gathering of Mustangs

If your first thought on seeing the name of this week’s winner is “Oh,that’s not fair,” then buddy, you ain’t alone. We were just asshocked as you to learn that Patty Wagstaff(of St. Augustine, Florida) is as handy behind the lens as she is behindthe stick – but hey, them’s the breaks. The lady can fly, she cansnap pics of warbirds like nobody’s business (apparently!), and she’llsoon have an AVweb cap to keep the sun off her brow this winter.

(Wonder if she can write or code web pages? Hmmm … .)

And lest we forget: Thanks to everyone who’s sent ustheir Mustangs and Legends photos! Our own Mike Blakeney had aball at the show, and the rest of us wish we could’ve gotten away – butat least we’ve got the photos!

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. 😉
