47th Symposium Photo Contest Entries & Winners

Photo Contest Voting

All registered Symposium attendees may vote in the Photo Contest and will receive a link to the online ballot via email.

  1. View the photos below and note your selections:  Each photo has a unique number in the lower left corner — use those numbers to make a note of your selection for each category, including Best in Show, before proceeding to the online ballot.  Please be patient as the photos may load slowly, especially when clicked to enlarge.
  2. Enter your selections in the online ballot:  If you registered for the symposium, you should have received an email with a link to the online ballot for this contest.  Simply visit that link, enter your selections and submit the form.  One submission allowed per person.  Once you have submitted your ballot you cannot return to change your selections.  Closing the ballot without clicking Submit will clear the form. 

Votes will be accepted until 3PM Tuesday, February 22. Winners will be announced and their awards presented on Thursday, February 24.
