While the 2011 Festival is now over, we hope you'll keep uploading those gorgeous images to our Festival Flickr site.

We'll soon be ready to choose our favorites from among the top ten lists. As a special thank you to those of you who created our top five super-favorite images, we'll be sending out Festival and Folkways merchandise. Here are all of our  top ten galleries so far.
