Thanks to all who have entered this contest, a lot of great pictures and an incredible amount of entries! Thanks again to Jacques from HartzView Hunting Safaris for his generosity. We'll be selecting the nine pictures and posting it within the next few days. With so many great photos this is as always going to be difficult...
The finalists will be selected by a panel of three judges, all members of AH including myself. Each judge will choose their top three pictures which will be finalists. The nine pictures selected as finalists will then be posted on April 23rd, 2013 in this thread and members of AH will then be allowed to place one vote for their favorite picture from amongst the finalists (judges cannot vote). Voting by AH members will take place from April 23rd until April 30th, 2013 (at noon Pacific Standard Time). The finalist with the most votes will be the winner. In the case of a tie the winner will be selected by the panel of three judges from the pictures that have tied. The winner will be announced on May 2nd, 2013 in this thread.
