Dear All, The third annual *Picture of the Year* competition is an event where the images that became Featured Pictures<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:FP>during the year are voted on by members from all of the Wikimedia projects, to produce a single Picture of the Year. The galleries have been prepared here<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2008/…es>. Feel free to browse our worthy contenders for the title, though voting has yet to begin. The contest is being run by a first-time team this year, after the previous group left unexpectedly. We hope that you will bear with us if we make any mistakes. For voters: * Voting eligibility, how to vote<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2008/… -- Belayet Hossain http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=597135861
