Not trying to criticize anyone or anything, but why is this starting so
late in the year? I think it would make more sense to have it as early as
possible.

Dear Wikimedians,
We are happy to announce that the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is
now open.
Picture of the Year 2017 is the twelfth edition of the annual Wikimedia
Commons image competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by
users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their
favorite images featured on Commons (FP) during the year 2017, to produce a
single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the
international Wikimedia Commons community. From professional animal and
plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, historically relevant
images, images portraying the world's best architecture, Commons features
pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two
rounds of voting will be held: In the first (and current) round, you can
vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and
the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round,
when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image
that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2017 page on Wikimedia
Commons:

Year/2017
Round 1 will end 24 June 2018, 23:59:59 [UTC].
Thanks,
POTY 2017 committee
