Our 2012 photo contest series, which each week gave participants the opportunity to win a $25 gift card, kicked off in October with readers submitting gorgeous photos of fall foliage.
Every week since then, we've crowned a new winner. We'll crown one more on Jan. 1, once we close our ongoing "favorite photo of 2012" contest.
As the year comes to a close, let's look at all of the photos that earned our readers a prize this year!
We've enjoyed this contest so much, we're continuing with a dozen new categories in 2013. Keep on uploading your pictures; we can't wait to see them!
