This summer's heat broke records around the globe. GOOD asked you to send in your best photos showing how you survived. You responded with pictures of kiddie pools, a rooftop fort, beer cans, and a Parisian fountain. Check out the slideshow of submissions, and be sure to vote for your favorite in the comments section. Whoever gets the most votes will win a free T-shirt and yearlong subscription to our magazine. Plus, the photo will be printed in an upcoming issue of GOOD.
