Congratulations to our successful photographers. We also want to thank everyone for taking part in the Art around the World Artistic Photography Contest. Due to the very high quality of the majority of photographs submitted we were not able to include all of the outstanding art in the final list of winners; however, this is not a reflection of your artistic talent and skill as a photographer; we would also encourage you to participate in our 2012 Contest.
