Photography Competition: Voting
1. "It is a photo I took from my visit to the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany. Miniatur Wunderland is basically a collection of miniature replicas of countries, cities, and monuments (definitely visit if you're taking a vacation to Germany). I choose this birds-eye view photo of one of the miniatures, because it reminds me of how we're all creating our own little countries in NationStates, in a sort of online version of Miniatur Wunderland." -Wischland
2. "This is when i went to asakusa, tokyo at my hotel. It reminds me of nationstates because of the diversity of culture." -Alski
3. No explanation provided, onsite submission by Pacifical.
4. "This is a picture of a lighthouse on the coast of Maine, which I took last summer on my vacation. I chose this picture, since my main nation, Eastern New England, is based off this vacation to New England, because I really like it there." -Eastern New England
5. "This is a picture of a perfect golden-brown s'more I had last year. It reminds me of XKI's tropical environment, and of our long camping trip in TITO." -Wille-Harlia

With voting concluded, we have our winners! Thank you to everyone for your submissions, it was unique to see so many different perspectives on NationStates. As promised, the 1st/2nd/and Honorable Mention have been designed either as Banners or, in one case, a flag. Card rewards will be distributed shortly
Be sure to keep an eye out for future events from the Cultural Office and signup for our notification list here!
In first place, with the Miniatur Wunderland, is Wischland !
In second place, we have Wille-Harlia 's delicious submission. Due to the photo dimensions, I elected to make this an optional flag as a nod to TITO's great love of S'mores.
Finally, I selected Eastern New England 's lovely seaside photo as an Honorable Mention!
