Congratulations to all, as well as the kudos of having won out of all those photos, you have each won an exclusive Megalithic Portal T shirt or books from our Online Shop. Here are some more Highly Commended photos with great scores that I thought you'd like to see. In terms of photos gathering votes, Paul Blades totally dominated this competition with more than half of the top 20 photos being from him. I think this equals Martin L's record so we'll show some more of Paul's photos this time. Check out his and Martin's pages for more (click on their names).

Thanks as always to everyone who voted and entered. Just as a recap, each month all the photos* submitted to the Megalithic Portal have a chance to win by being voted on by you, the Megalithic Portal visitors and contributors.

PLEASE VOTE!

There is still time to vote on the February, March and April, competitions. We will be announcing the results of the next competition soon.

You can score photos* for visual or archaeological merit or for any other reason you like. A vote from any person will start off the scoring, remember that you are allowed to vote for your own photos once if you would like to put them forward. Equally you do not have to have your photos rated or voted on if you don't want to. Please contact Andy B via the 'Contact Editor' link if you do not want to take part.

More details on the monthly photo competitions are here.

(*) Although we say 'photos' we also include other types of image relevant to our subject such as diagrams, paintings and other artwork that you have created.

(**) We should be back to monthly competitions for 2013, but you need to keep voting please
