On Saturday 13 November, following on from a piece in the Guardian Review in which 10 authors chose the image that, for them, defined the decade, we asked you to share with us the photographs you have taken over the last 10 years, that document a political, cultural or sporting event.

We've been amazed by the breadth and variety of subject matter of the images you've submitted. We'll do a final roundup of our favourite photos after 1 December, but meanwhile, here are some of our favourites:

Michael Cairns's photo of the US Airways plane landing in the Hudson river on 15 January 2009 reminds us that we should never be without a camera.

Standyal captured 2010's summer of football with these pictures of the Blind World Cup.

PD Smith snapped this Banksy at Cans festival, 2008.

A number of people have uploaded photos taken at protests. We particularly like Toby Lawley Butler's excellent shot of riot police at a demonstration against increases in university fees in Chile, 2006.

Thanks for all your photos, do keep them coming! If you want to submit an image, you can upload it to our Flickr group here – and join in the conversation on Lisa Allardice's blogpost.
