First of all a big “thank you” to all 68 contestants for all their great entries. Celine, Y, Ash, Marija and me had a hard time judging on all these pictures but finally we made it: Congratulations to all :-)!
As the host of this event I had the wonderful opportunity to choose one of the picture for the host’s award and I know, I know it’s kind of unusual, but I’ll start right away with the host’s award, because it’s such a sunny day today and the picture I chose perfectly fits with the lovely weather :).
And the host’s award goes to Ema @ My Explorations
