Wikimedia Finalists 2006

Update: March 2: The winner was The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, shining above Bear Lake, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, by Senior Airman Joshua Strang.

It’s a shame the winner wasn’t a Wikimedian. My favorite was Wollex’s unique photo of the wreck of the American Star which finished in sixth place.
