- two* photographs may be submitted by any one person, provided they have not been submitted before
- submitted photographs must prominently feature:
- bus infrastructure (such as bus stop, bus station, bus depot) within the ACT / Queanbeyan region (location must be specified)
and/or

- the bus is in focus

This month we are seeking photos of:
Special Needs Transport buses (Rosas or Hinos). If you submit such a photo, you may still submit 2 other new photos (3 photos in total).

[img width=640] instead of
[img].

Sorry. Location info has been improved
One day left to vote. We currently have a tie. If you haven't voted, today is the day.
Just confirming, will the three runner ups all proceed to the POTyear vote?

Maybe. We'll see what the final numbers look like. Never before have 3 runners-up been included in a Photo of the Year vote (from the same month).
The bonus photo category for this month will be former-AOA buses.
And for December, it will be bike racked Scania 14.5s and artics.

Is this buses in their former AOAs or any bus that has formerly had an AOA?
