You will not see the results of the vote until the poll closes on 1 July 2024, after all time zones have had a chance to catch up with the voting deadline.

Enjoy the great variety of the photos, and choose your three favourites.

Voted.

Even with fewer entries it's still an awkward choice to make!  :)

Voting seems to have slowed a little.  If you haven't voted yet please take time to choose your three favourites and vote.

Thank-you

The end of the month is getting closer, and so is this month's photo competition!

This is your chance to support the photographers who are making the effort to enter photos they took while QE2 was still sailing the seas. Each month, these competitions add excellent photos to the collection, and it is right to encourage the photographers by taking a few moments to vote in the competition. Please come and have a look and let us appreciate your votes!

The QE2 in the Caribbean theme generated some good photos for the May competition.

Have you voted for your three favourites?  If not there is still time before voting closes tomorrow afternoon - 1 July BST

At the moment here is one photo in the lead and one a close runner up, so if you want your favourite to win please vote now.

13 voters now, and just five hours to go before the poll closes.

We have never had so few voters... hoping for very many last-minute voices :) .
