It is with great pleasure that I announce the winners of the 2007 Beautiful B-School Photo Contest :

• First Place Winner ($200 Amazon Certificate): Faye Ye for Stanford's Main Quad
  
• Second Place Winner($100 Amazon Certificate): Xinmin Li for Chicago's Hyde Park Center, recently renamed the Charles M. Harper Center.
• Third Place Winner ($50 Amazon Certificate): Aryeh Shapiro for NYU Stern.

I also want to thank all those who contributed photos and won Honorable Mentions.

All photos are displayed in Accepted's B-School Zones pages. The top three photos along with the names of all the Honorable Mentions and top-three-prize winners are on the Beautiful B-School Photo Contest Winners page.

Finally, I want to thank our wonderful judges again. They had a tough time choosing and ranking the top pictures.

• Della Bradshaw, Managing Editor of Business Education at the Financial Times.
• Jeff Gangemi, Businessweek reporter and recently accepted MBA student to the Johnson School at Cornell.
• Forrest Gump, long-time MBA blogger, winner of a Clear Admit Best of Blogging award, and member of Chicago's MBA class of '09.
• Apurv Pandit, editor of PaGaLGuY.com.
• Leila Pirnia, co-founder of MBA Podcaster.
• Peter Regan, founder of MBA Math and professor at Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business.

Thanks to all who participated.

2008 applicants, if you visit schools over the summer, take your camera with you. This was fun. I have a sneaky suspicion Accepted will host another photo contest next year, and I look forward to seeing your submissions then.
