'Signs as objects of Art'
Signs can function as a form of direct communication or as a symbolic language. Designed to instruct or regulate, they often reveal much more when removed from their context by a photographic lens. The resulting text and imagery can then become expressive, ironic or poetic.  Excellent images of great visual interest were submitted.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Uschi Hermann
2nd place: Adolfo Urrutia
3rd place : Giorgio Toniolo

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
