The polish wikinews has launched there Picture of the year, and they have some nice pictures (beats some of the commons:POTY finalists imo). Anyways:
*Its open to people who are active in wikimedia and have an account on pl wikinews (I think you can create an account for the sole purpose of voting if you're active somewhere in wiki-land) *There will be two rounds.. In the last round there will be five finalists
(I can't read polish so this is based on what I heard from Przykuta)

So: check out the cool pictures.
