There are many lenses through which to you can look back on 2014 — the year in pictures, in quotes, in news stories.
And then there’s the art you shared with us.
Through each of Mashable‘s 38 photo challenges, 28 Vine challenges and two #MashMeets, we witnessed the immense artistic talent in our community. The responses we received for each challenge — from wilderness photography and faceless portraits to claymation and mini-movie remakes —were truly inspiring.
We’re especially thankful for our active followers and fellow collaborators on Instagram and Vine; we hit the 100,000 followers milestone on both platforms this year, and much of that credit goes to you.
Below, we rounded up some of our favorite photos and Vines from all of you throughout 2014. Take a look:
