The ITU Photo of the Year is an ongoing series on the 2010 Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series.  Working our way through the Series each week, readers have the opportunity to vote for their choice of the Best Event Photo. Once the seven best images have been chosen, this photographic series will culminate in a final vote to decide the ITU Photo of the Year.  In addition to the contest, readers will get the chance to hear from each event photographer about their favourite image from the event, published in a brief excerpt at the end of each week. Be sure to tune in each week to follow the series and vote for your favourite image!

You have voted each week and below are your finalists for Photo of the Year.  From Jan Frodeno galloping by famed Sydney Opera House to Barbara Riveros Diaz weary and worn-out at the finish area of the Grand Final, the seven photos are a varied blend that showcases action and excitement.
