Photo Contest Images Now on Flickr

Winners of the 2008 Photo Contest have been announced and their photos are now available online!

The contest committee reviewed 294 entries from 73 participants, selecting 54 photos as semifinalists. From that group 20 finalists were selected, including four top winners. All images selected as finalists and winners can be viewed online through our Flickr gallery. These photos will also be featured in March AN and will be hung as prints in the AAA office beginning late spring. Semifinalist photos will be available on Flickr soon.

Curious about the recording featured in the Peter Biella's winning photo? An excerpt is available here and through the AAA podcast.

Stay tuned to Anthropology News and this blog for information on the 2009 contest, coming soon.
