Oops…realized that I didn’t have a contest end date. The contest will end on Feb 27th. Please be sure to have your votes in. π
It’s that time again. I try to do a blog contest every year with a few of my favorite photos from the year. Last year, I was out of the country so this is last year’s contest π I have too many favorites but I had to limit the entries to make this work.
The rules are simple!
1. In the comment section, vote for your favorite photo using the number. It might take a day or so for the comment to show up.
2. Anyone can vote- whether your photo is in the contest or not.
3. To keep it fair only one vote per family- so no extras votes for each of your kids, cats or dogs if the photo is yours (or not). By all means, send it to aunts, cousins and friends and have them vote for your picture.
4. The winning photo gets a complimentary 11 x 14″ print.
5. For multiple votes on the winning pictures I will be in touch with you. If you are local, you will be eligible for a 15 minute photo session with me (products are NOT included and you need to be able to travel to me). All you have to do is tell me why I should pick you and the best story will win- I will pick one winner. If you aren’t local or don’t want a session, the winner get a complimentary $25 Target card. Please be sure to include your email address with your vote to get in touch with you.
The photos are not listed in any particular order. Please note that the numbers are UNDER the image.
