The theme for the June Challenge was 'Far From Home', and your entries this month did a great job of exploring that concept in a variety of ways.    Winners are as follows:   First Place (US$500): Where am I? by Buchanon Petthanya   Second Place (US$300): My World by Robin Ohlsson   Third Place (US$200): Hard Times by Dan Lavric   There were many, many excellent photos which we had difficulty ranking.    We felt all the finalists deserve recognition and organized them into Runner Ups and Honorable Mentions.    Be sure to check them out — many of them are truly stellar.   What's next?   The July Photography Challenge has started and will be accepting entries until July 31st.   You can also join the many photography related zines on Convozine.    Any convo, including your June Challenge entry, can be contributed to multiple zines:   Fotojorno Wet Beauty of Buildings Depth of Field People Angst --- on the line --- Photo Stories (multi-image essays) ...and more.   Thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated!
