Constantine Maroulis the star of Broadway's ROCK OF AGES and a 2009 Tony Award Nominee for 'Best Performance By A Leading Actor In A Musical' gives you an example with his own favorite theatre photo! 

"It only takes a moment to fall in love with theatre. My moment came years ago-long before my Broadway performance in Rock of Ages. I starred in a production of Lend Me a Tenor in high school (sporting short hair!), and have been in love with the theatre ever since. And now I get to rock out on Broadway eight times a week! Dreams really do come true." 

After the voting closes on June 3, the photos that receive the highest average rating will be designated as finalists. A panel of celebrity expert judges will select the winners.

Grand prize - a trip to NYC to see the 2010 Tony Awards, including hotel and air travel.
First Prizes - A trip to NYC to see a Broadway show, including hotel and air travel.
