Nuit Blanche is not quite a distant memory, but now that the extended exhibitions have ended, it's time to look back at some of the best photos that our readers submitted as part of our photography contest this year. From JR's stunning city hall exhibit to the lava show at the Harbourfront, there was some stunning stuff captured this year.

These are the 10 finalists selected as part of this year's contest.
