Commons POTY results

That’s it! The 2007 results are in. As with last year, the winning image dominated voting in the first round and was a clear leader in finals voting as well.

This year’s winner has much less of a “wow” factor than last year’s Aurora Borealis. It marks the first time for a Wikimedian to win this honour (although, an absent one).

Full results are available here.
