As an industry leader in commercial satellite imagery, DigitalGlobe is pleased to announce our end-of-the-year top satellite image contest. Our satellite constellation has been busy traveling the globe and capturing incredible imagery, from natural disasters to natural wonders. We’ve selected our favorite 20 images from 2011 and need your help voting on the image you believe is the most aesthetically pleasing and/or astounding.

To vote, simply go to DigitalGlobe’s Facebook page and under albums select Top Image Contest. You can “like” as many images as you want, but only the five images with the most likes will make it to the final round. The first round of voting will end on December 31, 2011.

On January 2, 2012, we will announce the five images with the overall most “likes” and you will be able to vote on your favorite image via a Facebook poll.
We will announce the winning image of 2011 on January 11, 2012.

Please note our Top Image Contest album is also located on Flickr for easy viewing; however please make sure you vote for your favorite on Facebook.

Who do you think deserves the Top Image of the Year title? We want you to be the judge!
