Thought I’d kick off the New Year with a blog photo contest. I picked some of my favorite photographs from the past two years and want you to vote for your favorite image.
The contest prize is a 16 x 20″ canvas of the winning image. In addition, they would also receive a $300 gift certificate that can be utilized toward a photo session. The session will have to be completed by August 15, 2011. This also applies to entries that are from out of town. The second place winner will receive a $200 gift certificate and the third place a $100 gift certificate.

Ready to play? Here are the rules:
1. Vote for any one image that strikes your fancy. Votes are monitored by IP address so one vote per person only.
2. If your picture is in the contest, feel free to vote for it. Share it with your friends/family and have them vote. But remember one vote per person 🙂
3. Voting will stay open through January 24th, 11 pm PST.
4. The results won’t be published until after the contest. They will be announced on January 26th.
And now for some more fun…
For all you voter-bees (other than the contest entrants), a prize too! A $25 Target gift card. To qualify all you have to do is post a comment on our Facebook page saying, “I voted”. A random winner will be picked.
ps. The Target gift card offer is limited to US residents only.
