Favorite Lenses Chosen by Squids
The Squid's Choice Awards originated on Squidoo's Top Ten list but has become so popular that it needed it's own lens.
Each month will have a theme and Squids will have the opportunity to nominate and vote for their favorite lenses within that theme. At the end of each month the 10 lenses with the most votes will be chosen and featured on the Squid's Choice Awards lens. They will also receive a special award badge to place on their lens and will be invited to join the Squid's Choice Awards Winners Group.
At the beginning of each month a new nomination list and theme will be added.
This lens donates 100% to the Squidoo Charity Fund.
