JHB Skyline pic usage

Hi Nick

We would like to use your pic - File:South Africa-Johannesburg-Hillbrow001.jpg - on the cover of Business Day Homefront in a collage of other urban development pics. It fits in beautifully with the story which we would email you once it has gone to print.

We would credit you as NJR ZA unless you'd like your full name on the credit byline.

If you could let me know that would great.

Thanks.

Mark

Mark, you are welcome to do so, if you provide contact details I will send you an email granting Business Day explicit authority to use it. --NJR_ZA (talk) 10:24, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Dear NJR ZA/Archives,

The 2013 Picture of the Year competition has ended and we are pleased to announce the results: We shattered participation records this year — more people voted in Picture of the Year 2013 than ever before. In both rounds, 4070 different people voted for their favorite images. Additionally, there were more image candidates (featured pictures) in the contest than ever before (962 images total).

  • In the first round, 2852 people voted for all 962 files
  • In the second round, 2919 people voted for the 50 finalists (the top 30 overall and top 2 in each category)

We congratulate the winners of the contest and thank them for creating these beautiful images and sharing them as freely licensed content:

  1. 157 people voted for the winner, an image of a lightbulb with the tungsten filament smoking and burning.
  2. In second place, 155 people voted for an image of "Sviati Hory" (Holy Mountains) National Park in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.
  3. In third place, 131 people voted for an image of a swallow flying and drinking.

We also sincerely thank to all 4070 voters for participating and we hope you will return for next year's contest in early 2015. We invite you to continue to participate in the Commons community by sharing your work.

Thanks,
the Picture of the Year committee
