a monkey on a camelThe results of the 5 Hilarious Travel Photos contest are now in. Based on your votes, Lee LeFever secured his title as the winner! (It appears the ‘monkey on the camel’ was the clincher).

I’ll be sending him a brand new copy of the Lonely Planet’s Guide to Travel Photography — not that he’ll need it, but I’m sure it’s chock full of useful photography tips and advice.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the contest, as well as the judges (Kris, Pam, Timen, Ethan, and Pia) for making the final nominations from so many great entries.

Have any ideas for more contests? Let me know in the comments!

    how many votes in total? I didn’t vote since it wouldn’t have felt fair :)

    Congrats Lee!

    @Stu — The votes were pretty clearly in favour of Lee’s entry, with the rest spread evenly among the remaining entries. Congrats on being a finalist though!
