This Month's Entries

How Voting Works

Every member of Aperture Photo Club is entitled to vote once per category per monthly contest cycle. Scroll through the photographs below, which represent this month's entries across all three categories. Take your time reviewing each image before you cast your vote — we ask that you vote based on the quality of the photograph itself, not on familiarity with the photographer. Great photography speaks for itself, and this process only works when voters engage honestly and thoughtfully with the work in front of them. Votes are tallied at the end of the month, and winners are announced in the first week of the following month before being added to the gallery.

To cast your vote, scroll down to the voting form at the bottom of this page. Select one entry per category from the dropdown menus provided, add your name and email address, and submit the form. Duplicate votes from the same email address will be discarded automatically. If you believe there has been an error in how your vote was recorded or if you have a question about the voting process, contact us at leowhumbach@gmail.com and we will look into it as quickly as possible.
