1 September 2010, midday + 2 GMT: the Joy Photo Challenge is now closed. Please do not submit any more images.

I would like to thank all those who submitted an image. There's a lot of joy there!

I will be contacting the adjudicators soon and the results will be posted here and here on 8 September.

The winner, runners-up and any comments offered by the adjudicators will be posted at the same addresses. The outright winner will be contacted by 8 September.

More importantly, this was the first time a challenge (not a competition) was organised within Photoblog. I would like to thank those who made a sincere effort to contribute with their time, their ideas and their... joy.
