Dear Wikimedians,
The 2014 Picture of the Year competition has ended and we are pleased to
announce the results:
We shattered participation records this year — more people voted in Picture
of the Year 2014 than ever before. In both rounds, 6698 different people
voted for their favorite media files.
- In the first round, 4504

- In the second round, 3824

people voted for the 54 finalists (the R1 top 30 overall and top 2 in each
category).
In the second round – the “three votes” system was enabled for the first
time this year – eligible users could vote for up to 3 finalists - each of
these 3 votes counted equal.
We congratulate the winners of the contest and thank them for creating
these beautiful media files and sharing them as freely licensed content:
1. 547 people voted for the winner, Two Julia Butterflies (Dryas iulia)
drinking the tears of turtles in Ecuador
