Holy long post. But I’m pretty sure many of you are very, very interested to look it over. It’s the next batch of winners in our Big Photography Giveaway! This has been going on every single day in the month of May and we haven’t missed a beat. We’re over half-way through this now and there is so much more talent to come for the remaining 15 days. If you’re just checking in and want to know what on Earth this is all about, click on the big orange block at right. Before I get to the winners, some important points:

1. Don’t see your name as an official big-time winner? Read closely. Many photographers have big, big offers for others who entered to win. These are some seriously generous people!

2. Some photographers chose based on the comments that were left. Some chose randomly. In fact, several photographers used random.org to choose the winner for them because it was just too hard to pick one winner.

3. Are you a winner? It is up to you to contact that photographer. If you don’t get in touch with them this week, they have the right to choose another winner. You snooze, you lose.

4. The winners are in alphabetical order based — state or country — for your convenience.

5. Don’t forget to keep scrolling down below this giant winners post to see today’s featured photographers (and the weekend’s if you haven’t seen them).

Here. We. Go!
