In the past few months, we opened a call for photographers to nominate themselves as the Best Concert Photographer in Phoenix. We then had a panel of judges winnow the almost 50 entries down to 10 finalists. Over the next few weeks, we introduced you to each finalist and showed you their photos, and then last week, we had you vote.

Well, more than 2,500 votes later, we have a winner.

Congratulations, Joseph Abbruscato, our winner.

Here is a Q&A with Abbruscato, as well as more of his photographs.

Also, congratulations to our runner-up, our Web Editor Jim Louvau.

Thanks to all the finalists and the other fantastic photographers who entered, and thanks to everyone who voted.
