Each month the Photography staff selects a "Gallery of the Month" 

Once a year the entire community  selects a Photographer as "Artist of the Month"

Now it's your turn to decide !!

We have put together a page that will link you to each of the 13 artists.

We created a small collage for each artist, simply to represent the work of each artist.

Please follow the link to each artists gallery !!!

You can vote right under the artist you choose.

You can only vote once !!

Voting will end on the 21st of December

Photographer of the Year Contest

I think this is a great new way to recognize the outstanding talent we have here in the Photography Galleries. It is going to be a VERY tough choice though....

Very tough I wish I could vote for them all!

I am quite glad to see this means of recognition of the artistic and technical talent here.  Agree..the vote will be quite difficult and may come down to a choice of perferred genre. 
Thanks for this opportunity to specially honor one of ours.

Hi Guys,
Now that was so hard to choose. What an honour to be just selected. Good luck to everyone selected.
Chris:)

Tough???? Are you kidding???? I almost didn't vote cuz it was so tough. And there are some newer friends here at RR that are really giving the rest of us a lot of competition! Great job everyone! Good luck to all!!!

Why should voting be limited to those mentioned?

I vote for Leeco.

I have voted...very pleased with my choice, not pleased to have left some out...my choice is one of loosely "genre" presentation.  I find no criticism of the selection of photographers and no criticism of the work of any of them..that was not the determination in my vote.  Whew....  Tom.

**I know there are several other Photographers who deserve to be in this selection..

But, I would have had to think of this idea a month or so ago to get more nominations..

I can assure you that the staff puts a fair amount of time into selecting the Gallery of the Month.

I can also say, there will be a nice little reward for the winner...

Bruce, my  "not pleased to have left some out" was a reference to those presented in the selection from gallery of the month, because the choice was quite difficult,  not a reference to photographers who were not in the running this time with this selection method .   I am anxious to see the final outcome.     Tom

It's all good Tom...

Voting is VERY close right now...

That's why it's important to vote...

Ok, you made that way too hard to pick one and not feel guilty!  They all were fantastic and very professional in each of their subjects.  But I did vote. 

I also thought it was extremely difficult to vote!  :)  Congrats to all the twelve nominees, you all do fantastic work! 

Thank you to everyone who has voted so far...

If you haven't...what are you waiting for ????
