Soundcheck's Concert Photo Contest

We asked you to take your best summer concert photo - and you did, showing us a wide variety of concert images from around the world. Today, we announce the winner as we're joined by our guest judge, John Abbott, the jazz photographer who has captured artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Abbey Lincoln, Elvin Jones, and others.

Also joining us is Henry Diltz, the veteran rock photographer whose work has graced hundreds of album covers and has been featured in books, magazines and newspapers; and Peter Blachley, the record industry veteran and the owner of the Morrison Hotel Gallery.

The winner of the contest receives five CD's hand-picked by host John Schaefer AND two tickets to see the musical "Hair" at the Delacourt Theater in Central Park on September 22.

And the winner is.... Elizabeth Weinberg!
