The Vote has ended! View the winners here!

Hello everybody and happy New Year!

The time has come to hold the annual Picture of the Year Competition. In the year 2014 we witnessed great many entries in the weekly PoTW competitions and we got the pleasure of enjoying all those wonderful screenshots taken by talented photographers. All in all in the last year we had 46 winning pictures of which 18 were selected to partake in this special event. The members who have won multiple times have been given the honor of entering with a picture of their choosing. Selecting the best ones will not be easy.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who have participated in PoTW, UESW and VOTM competitions as contestants or voters and by doing so have helped to keep this section of TWC alive. I wish everyone a peaceful and a happy 2015.

The vote is done

, great shots, and sadly only one will get the honor to be called picture of the year 2014, so let the best win!

Good luck to everyone participated, ...It's a hard choice to pick in all the magnificent art just three submissions...as we have a lot of great artists in this community who created and submitted brilliant pictures.....

Good luck......

For me there is no question, Number [3] is my favor:
"Art of the finest some is involved inside the layers of the dust and sun rays tense, this last but brave awaited breath of death can be sensed, yes felt under the hurting burning skin of the fallen soldier in the await of heaven, the cruel but dense addiction but fighting to death, arms at arms, man to man, brothers to brothers in chaos but still skill through luck or even written destiny....a master piece,....others may be quite close, nevertheless nothing inspire my dark imagination more as this, the mentioned !",

I hope thats not advertising, but I myself have also my own (not the mentioned) submission in the race, so I think its allowed to praise my colleagues.....

Submission 14 is my personal favourite

**Conclamatus** · January 05, 2015, 09:32 AM

Haha, my guess was right

Best of luck to owners of these submissions and the best wishes to everyone here, and have a Happy New Year! (prolly to late to say this

)

I absolutely love number 16! Especially that lone horse rider from bottom left and the scared grenadier that sees him coming!
And I got a desktop background too!
