Patch Picture of the Week Contest

WINNER: Sibling Photo Contest

Readers have been uploading photos for nearly a week. We've crowned our winner.

Since we launched our sibling photo contest last Wednesday, readers have uploaded dozens of awesome pictures of brothers with brothers, sisters with sisters, brothers with sisters. It's never easy to choose the sole winner of our contest each week. This week was particularly difficult. After looking at all the entries, we had to go with Kimberly Healy Murphy's photo of "sister love." It simply melted our hearts! Congratulations, Kimberly, and thank you to all those who entered! Kimberly, we'll be emailing you to make arrangements to get you your $25 gift card. Return to Patch tomorrow for our next photo contest: skiing!

Patch Picture of the Week Contest

PHOTO CONTEST: Sibling Love

Our first photo contest of 2013 focuses on family: siblings, specifically.

The bulk of holiday festivities should be over by now. For many, that probably means that there are tons of family photos on your memory card or computer, just begging to be shared with us. In our first Picture of the Week contest of the year, we want to see photos of siblings together. Whether it's that great picture you have of you and your brother at Christmas, that old gem you've saved from childhood or that adorable shot of your children, let's see them. We’ll take submissions until 6 p.m. Jan. 7. The winner, chosen by Patch editors, will be announced on Jan. 8. The prize? A $25 gift card. We know it can be hard to choose just one, so you may enter as many photos as you'd like. If you like a particular photo, voice your support for it…
