The last splashAfter a few days of sweating and debating over their choices, the judges in the photo contest have named their top 5 finalists.

Thanks to everyone who participated and sent in their entry. I hope the opportunity provided you at the very least with a trip down memory lane, through photographs you hadn’t seen in a while and hoped to forget.

The Final Nominations
(in no particular order)

So now it’s up to you, dear reader.

From the list of final nominations above, YOU must vote on the top winner. The polls will be open until midnight April 29. One vote per person.

Please note: I’ve added an optional first page to the voting that asks a few demographic questions about you.

I repeat: it’s optional – though I would appreciate the extra few moments to answer the questions because it helps me better understand our audience and in turn, publish a better blog.

    I second that, Kirsty! I feel honored that my horrible photography skills might win me anything.

    Good luck to everyone!
