Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. In the final round, when only 20 images are left, you must decide on one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

We're now interested in your opinion on which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2009. For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Feel free to vote for as many images as you like, there's no limit in vote numbers. The Round 1 category winners and the top 10 overall will then make it to the final.
