Honorable Mentions ’11, Group Two

Honorable Mentions ’11, Group One
Nov 28th
Thank you again to all who entered this year’s Mochimochi Photo Contest! This was our 5th Annual contest, and it lived up to the occasion with more entries than ever before (over 600!) and tons of fantastic photos. John and I nearly skipped Thanksgiving entirely because we were working day and night to narrow the photos down to 20 honorable mentions and 20 semifinalists. (That a slight exaggeration, but it was really tough!)
We’ll be posting the honorable mentions today and tomorrow, then when we start posting the semifinalists, we’ll ask for your input to help narrow them down further to 10 finalists. Once we have the final 10, we will have an official vote we hope everyone will take part in. So much fun!
Today we bring you the first group of Honorable Mentions, photos that didn’t quite make the top 20, but that we were thrilled with nevertheless. Check them out after the jump!
