I am happy to notice that, if I recall correctly, two of these finalists were 
runner-ups of Wiki Science Competition 2017 (the tornado, Commons:Wiki Science 
Competition 2017/Winners - Wikimedia Commons "image sets" category) and of 
European Science Photo Competition 2015 (the frozen bubble, Commons:European 
Science Photo Competition 2015/Winners - Wikimedia Commons "general" category).

This IMHO proves how important is to focus also on technical and scientific 
fields in order to get multimedia of high quality. Specifically, these images 
were not considered of similar scientific relevance compared to the final 
winners, but they are wonderful pictures and they are valuable to illustrate 
scientific articles.

 Dear Wikimedians,


The 2018 Picture of the Year competition has ended and we are pleased to 
announce the results:

In both rounds, people voted for their favorite media files.

  *  In the first round, there were 963 candidate images.
  *  In the second round, people voted for the 57 finalists (the R1 top 30 
overall and top 2 in each category).

In the second round – the “three votes” was used – eligible users could vote 
for up to 3 finalists – each of these 3 votes counted equal. There were 2983 
people who voted in R1 and 3496 who voted in round R2.

We congratulate the winners of the contest and thank them for creating these 
beautiful media files and sharing them as freely licensed content:
