In addition to being shown on the actbus.net front page for a month (and added to the POTM archive), the winning photo will also be loaded to ACT Bus on Facebook and will be used as the "cover" photo for the ACT Bus Facebook page (for at least 1 week). The winner and runner-up(s) will also be included in the Photo of the Year vote.

The rules:

  • photo must be user's own work or submitted with permission of the photographer
  • a user may submit up to two photographs, provided they have not been submitted before
  • in addition, a user may submit a photo which was previously submitted (by the same user) more than 12 months ago, provided that photo did not win Photo of the Month or Photo of the Year

Voting is now open.

You may submit your votes anonymously through the forum (up to 5 photos may be selected) and/or through Facebook.

Should the two voting system return different winners, the overall winner will be determined by a points system (where the forum vote takes priority).

Forum voting closes in 23 hours. Due to the highly complicated voting system in place this month, the forum vote could decide the outcome. So if you haven't voted yet via the forum poll above, do so now.
