At the end of phase 1, the top 10 images by number of votes will go to phase 2 (the final). Only images with 3 or more votes are eligible for phase 2.
During the final, to take place from 15th February to 28th February, the Commons Picture of the Year 2006, and the two runners-up, will be chosen from the eligible images.
The three winning pictures will be displayed on the Main Page and enter the History Books of Wikimedia Commons forever :-)
Participate! The election is open from tomorrow on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2006 !
The final has been postponed 2 days, for maintenance purposes: We want to ensure that the votes are counted correctly and that we have enough time to prepare the final. The final will run from 17th to 28th February.

While this is my opinion, I believe a number of other Commoners share it. I'd certainly like to see the Picture of the Year be one that was originally photographed or Illustrated by a Commons participant, rather than one that was found on a U.S. Government site or Flickr and uploaded.

Couldn't agree more.

Yes, me too. Unfortunately, it is now 14 days to late to change the rules. Next year we probably will do vote per category or vote only for commons images, but we can't change the rules now.

So vote now, for the best picture of 2006!
