Hi,
 The Odyssey Sea Glass Photo Contest started early last year and became very popular quickly.
Many of you sea glass fan-addicts :-) submitted your favorite personal photos of sea glass, shared them with your friends, and waited to see the monthly winner.
Now, after giving everyone a chance to vote on your favorite photo of all for 2011, we have tabulated the results for the winner of the year:
Winning Photo - 2011 Odyssey Sea Glass Photo Contest  Blue Bliss by Raymunda Fox of Monterey California
This crystal-clear photo of beautiful art glass tumbled and frosted by the sea was the winner of the April 2011 monthly contest and won hands down for the year.
Two photos that also garnered many votes deserve also special mention:

"Winter Score"
