Editor's Note: We've purposely not identified the photographers behind these photos since the judges are reviewing photos without knowing anything about the person who took them. Identifies will be revealed once the judges have selected the top 3 in this category.

Action! It's in the swing of a baseball bat, the kick of a soccer ball, a rock wall climb. It's a smile that spreads to someone else. It's in the accomplishment of crossing the finish line.

The Manhattan Beach 10K Run and the Hometown Fair each all full of action.

In DigMB's first photo contest, we wanted to see what action meant to others, and we've certainly hit that target with lots of entries in the "Best Action Shot" category.

Here are the entries so check out the action, and enjoy!

The top 3 in each category will be announced later this week, with prizes awarded.

Thanks to everyone who entered a submission. We thank you for entering the DigMB.com photo contest and giving all of us the opportunity to see what you saw.
