    • Round 2 will include the top 32 (+α) images from Round 1.
  • The top image will be declared as the Picture of the Year. The top three images will be featured as runners-up.

Voter eligibility edit

  • Your account must pass the official POTY 2011 voter eligibility tool. To do so, you must:
  1. ...have registered before 2012-04-01
  2. ...and have more than 75 edits before 2012-04-01 (that is 31 March 2012 (UTC)/1 April 2012, 00:00 (UTC) in any single Wikimedia project.
  • Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another Wikimedia project.
    • For other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL.
    • Due to the large vote volume, we are unable to accept voters that do not meet this criteria as determined by the official POTY 2011 voter eligibility tool.

Voting rules edit

In Round 1 - multiple vote - eligible users may vote for as many candidates as they wish to support (one vote per image).

In the Final round - single vote - eligible users may vote for only one finalist. Note: if a voter happen to cast more than one vote, only the latest (newest) vote will be counted as eligible"

Images edit

Categories edit

Commons:Picture of the Year/2011/Galleries#Galleries by categories

Image eligibility edit

Round 1
  • All FPs from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011.
Final
  • The top 32 images from Round 1, by number of votes, from any category will go to the final round - the categories are irrelevant when it comes to counting the votes.
  • If category #1 are not in the top 32s, they will be also promoted to the Final to guarantees a diverse final.
No candidate should not be disqualified or replaced without careful discussion as long as they are not deleted (ex. A deletion request alone is not enough reason to disqualify an image.)
