Ooh, Aah: Send Us Photos of Holiday Lights!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—and we want photos of your holiday lights to celebrate! From now until noon on December 24, we’re collecting photos of decorated homes and living rooms to compile a holiday-rific slide show that might even warm the Grinch’s heart.

Send your photos—one per e-mail, please—to eleaman@washingtonian.com with the subject line “Holiday Slide Show.” Please make sure your images are at least five by seven inches and 72 dpi. We’ll update the slide show several times a day, so check back often to see your light display immortalized on the Internet.

Happy decorating!

Vote on Your Favorite Photo-Contest Finalist!

250 submissions came in for this month’s architecture-themed photo contest. Check out our editors’ picks, and vote on your favorite!

UPDATE: Two photographs tied for first place, so we're having a runoff to determine the winner. Vote here! 

Over the past three weeks, readers flooded our inbox with photos of buildings, homes, monuments, and more. Yesterday, our panel of judges gathered to narrow the pool of 250 down to five finalists.

Now it’s your turn to weigh in. Scroll down to see the finalists, and take the poll at the bottom of the page to vote for your favorite. Reader voting closes November 30 at midnight. The photo with the most votes at that time will be declared the winner, and it’ll run in the January issue of The Washingtonian.

Remember, it’s only one vote per person, so choose wisely. And please, we ask that you play fair. If we see what seem to be irregularities in voting for a particular photograph, we reserve the right to disqualify it.

Good luck to our finalists, and happy voting, readers!

We selected only five finalists, but several other photos caught our eye. Click here to see our runners-up. You can also see all our past photo-contest winners here.
