December 2021 Poll: Best of the Best for 2022
« on: Nov 29, 2021, 06:34 PM »
The December Competition is a very special one. Here, we have assembled all 35 prizewinning photographs that were eligible for inclusion in the 2022 calendars of The QE2 Story. Your vote will now decide which of these 35 marvellous photos becomes the top prizewinner of the year.

We also have a very special, and very appropriate prize on offer. The prize is the Photo Book Celebrating Ten Years of The QE2 Story Photo Competitions. Alternatively, the winner could opt to receive the Vistaprint QE2 Story calendar for 2022 instead.



And because this is a special month with the top prizewinning photos, and we have a special prize on offer, everyone will have 5 votes instead of the normal three.

Voting is easy, but you need to be registered as a Forum member and log into the Forum to vote. If your own photos figure in this collection, please do not vote for them, but support the other photographers instead.

To make it easier for you, we have posted the pictures below. You will find all of them also in the topic Photo competition results : 2022 Calendar. However, you might prefer to turn to the Gallery Album, "Best of the Best for 2022", where you can see them all at once, in thumbnail form. Plus you can view larger versions of the pictures by clicking on the photos to see medium size, and clicking once more to see them in large size.

You will not see the results of the vote until the poll has closed on 1 January 2022, after all time zones have had a chance to catch up with the voting deadline.

Enjoy the variety in these photos and choose your favourites :) .

As always the choice is yours -- enjoy!

December is with us, and for the second time we have set up a "best of the best for the year" photo competition, where you can choose among all the pictures that were voted winner or runner-up over the months of the past year.

There are two very special and exclusive prizes on offer, prizes which are not otherwise available.

Enjoy looking through these marvellous photos again, and please crown the year by casting your vote for your favourites. You have five votes in honour of the occasion and the photographers, use them generously!

I've always found these photo comps to be so difficult because our QE2 makes such a great photography subject. Each angle, perspective, and view is totally unique. Truly fitting for such a unique ship. We'll never get something quite like her again.

Anyways, my votes are in. :)

Please keep voting for the Best of the Best photos.  So many good pictures that deserve your vote!  :)

The easy bit is logging into the forum and viewing the 35 photos - the difficult bit is choosing just 5 favourites!  ;)
