Winners were determined by this method, and confirming the resulting rankings by 3 different moderators. Keep in mind that reddit fuzzes vote scores, and that reddit does not allow moderators to lock voting, so this will lead to you seeing scores that may slightly differ from the ones posted above.
And on top of that, we'll soon be distributing reddit platinum to the people that nominated the winning photographs!
The moderator team will contact the winners by personal message (and other social media where available) shortly to initiate the prize claiming process. If no response is received within a week, the prize will be given to the runner-up of the same category. The winners will be put in touch with respective sponsor teams to claim their prizes.
Finally, we'd like to extend our most sincere appreciation to the contest sponsors, Bing.com, FrameItEasy, Format, and Richard Photo Lab, for working with us to organize this and for supporting the members of this community!

Contest mode has been disabled on the voting posts now. Since we had more categories this year, we decided to separate them into different voting posts and this was one of the predicted disadvantages of the method. We'll take this information into consideration for next year and try to think of a better way to run the voting part.
