Picture of the Week: AVweb’s Flying Photography Showcase
Last week, we “POTW” headquarters were feeling a bit neglected, and we asked – some might even say begged – our readership to flood us with photo submissions and boost our spirits. Boy, did you guys ever come through! (If only everyone were as dependable as AVweb readers.) Bengt Olson of Hinds, Sweden really stepped up to the challenge. His colorful photo of “a Finnair A321 parked at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport under the winter sky” took our breath away – and even managed capture an AVweb baseball cap in between breaths.

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?

Last week, we at "POTW" headquarters were feeling a bit neglected, and we asked - some might even say begged - our readership to flood us with photo submissions and boost our spirits. Boy, did you guys ever come through! (If only everyone were as dependable as AVweb readers.)

We know the song was set in California (on December 24, even!), but somehow we doubt Chuck Spaulding of Agoura Hills was dreaming of this sort of white Christmas when the photo was snapped on Christmas Eve at Camarillo Airport. | |||||||||||||

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 thePOTW Rules ororsend us an e-mail.
