vote, vote, vote!!! (explore awards)

hello wonderful people, and thanks again to everyone who contributed to our second explore awards!

we received more than twice the number of submissions as last time, making it even harder to choose our nominations : ) and there were *so* many images that were just one vote shy of making the nomination!

thanks again to our wonderful panel, which consists of my amazing and gifted friends Brianna Graham, and Nate & Jaclyn of the image is found, Jessica Claire, and myself.

though we nominated these, this is a people's choice awards, so *you* choose the images that are awarded. please vote for your favorites among the three categories below. you may choose as many as apply, focusing your votes on the ones that speak to you the most.

remember that the point of this contest is to share work that touches and inspires us.

you don't have to be a photographer to vote, and we hope that you tell your friends and family about it so they can vote too - blog about it, email it, post it to your friends on forums - all are welcome : )


***SPECIAL NOTE*** when spreading the word about the contest, please encourage people to vote for their favs - not specifically to vote for you, lol ; ) let's keep this as democratic as possible!
