Such beautiful entries, hard to pick! I voted for Croatia because the color combination is such an interesting alternative take on the theme, but still works beautifully.

When I clicked on the "competition page" link I got to no such place! How can I vote? The link doesn't show any competition page.

@medusa242: Sadly, their website is not very good. On the left side menu, there's an item called "Competition 2011 - Forests". You have to click there to vote.

Bosnia and Herzegovina was my choice - it was tough. Almost as hard as picking just one doughnut when you're in the shop!

on

on
strummer, Italy

Zmrzlina, United States of America

I voted for Serbia. But, they are all beautiful.

on
Komet83, Germany

Voted for Iceland and Montenegro. I like both as they used a leaf... Iceland just that close-up and Montenegro used a leaf in the shape of Europe. I liked that idea pretty much!

on
