Picture of the Week
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.” Once again, our electronic mailbag is full to overflowing with reader-submitted photos of planes, airports, pilots, passengers, gliders, RC gizmos, and pretty much anything else that you could get off the ground and into the air. Donald Reid of Bumpass, Virginia has submitted photos to us before, but this serene (if damp) morning photo from last year’s 10th Annual Virginia Regional EAA Fly-In makes him an official “POTW” Contest winner. Thanks, Don – watch your mailbox for a hat package in the next few days!

| | Used with permission of Roy Uchman | | Used with permission of Roy Uchman | Let's Go Have Some Fun! Roy Uchman of Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) gave this week's winner a run for the cap. In fact, the competition was so close - and Roy submitted so many gorgeous aerial photos in addition to this one - that we're going to send him a cap, too! (We like to do that kind of thing once in a while.) (Although this is a good opportunity to remind our submitters: If you have multiple photos, you really do stand a better chance of getting into the top spots if you submit only one photo per week. Otherwise, you're competing against yourself and wedging out photos that we might be able to run if you send them in later.) | |||||||||||||

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 orsend us an e-mail.
