Thanks to everyone who helped to make the 2007 SCM Photo Contest so much fun! The contest is now closed, but you can enjoy the winning photos below. And as a special treat, we’ve created a slideshow of all the entries. We’ll also soon begin displaying some of the photos in our site header. So grab some popcorn, settle back, and enjoy “meeting” each other.

Hundreds of Entries

We were pleasantly surprised that many of you sent in descriptions along with your photos. Those extra comments were so interesting that we’ve included shortened versions of them in the slideshow.

2007 SCM Photo Contest Winners

It was such a tough job to pick the winning photos! There were so many wonderful pictures submitted, and we loved different aspects of different photos. However, we had to choose. So as promised, we tried to narrow things down by focusing on these criteria:

• Quality and clarity of photo.
• How well the photo shows a CM activity.
• How well the photo fits in the SCM header.

When the dust settled (and the popcorn stopped flying), we selected these winners. We’ve also listed their blogs, if they submitted one, and which SCM e-books they selected as their prizes.
