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.

The Commons Picture of the Year 2006 will be chosen in February. Participate by voting for a picture out of the featured pictures promoted in 2006. This vote is open to every established Wikimedian.
The election has two phases. In the first phase, taking place from 1st to 14th February 2007, the ten best pictures will be chosen among all 2006 Featured Pictures.
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 :-)
