Facebook Contest Finds 10 Best Shots of New York City [PICS]

The City of New York asked city dwellers to submit their best snapshots of the Big Apple in its first Facebook photo contest, #lovenyc.

Now the city has released its top 10 photo choices — and wants you to vote for your favorite photo by April 15.

Mashable got an early look at the 10 images in the above gallery, which were chosen by a panel of judges.

“We already knew New Yorkers were incredibly creative and expressive, but we could never have imagined how beautiful the body of submissions was,” says Rachel Sterne, City of New York chief digital officer and #lovenyc contest judge. “The photos show what New Yorkers love about the city, from an inside perspective.”
