    Title:
    Summer Photo Contest Winners Announced
    Entry:

    Congratulations to the winners of our first ever Where did you take commonground this summer? photo contest! 

    Thanks for keeping us in mind during your travels and sharing your adventures with us. Your winning entries were a combination of entertaining, creative, ambitious, and fun.  So what have they won?

    First Place Prize:

    Ultra Flip Video Camera Ultra Flip Video Pocket Camera

    2nd and 3rd Prizes:

       A Gift Card for a full tank of gas!

    A big thanks to all of the members who requested mugs and T shirts to take along wherever they went this summer and to those who brought it full circle and submitted entries.  Our submissions covered adventures from coast to coast and in between - even from as far away as Bangladesh! 

    There were so many good ones, we have selected a few honorable mentions as well.

    And while both the contest and the summer are over, keep those photos coming of wherever you take commonground with you.  If you still need to get your commonground T-shirt or mug,  just ask (while supplies last) - and we'll get it out to you.  We'll be setting up a page soon in the community where all snaps of the cg mug or Tshirt on the road will remain on display permanently.

    And the winners are.....
