It’s time to announce the winners of the free contest entries….
From random.org we have 6,7 and 3.
I counted the comments on the post here on the blog first and then went through any comments left on the facebook page so that leaves the winners as.
#6 Carla
#7 Josie
and
#3 Jackie
Congratulations ladies please e-mail questions@womenofthevalley.com to claim your free entry!
If I don’t hear from the winners by Tuesday the 7th I will choose new winners.
It’s finally time to start entering the contest! And this year it’s a nice and easy form that let’s you submit and pay all at the same time so there’s no need to send any e-mails after you’re done.
Head on over to the enter page and send us your photos!
The other thing that’s changing this year is that if your submission does not follow the rules I really will not accept it. Last year I let quite a few submissions slide because it was a new contest and it ended up leading to some headaches so this year make sure your photographs follow the rules or they won’t get included in the contest and you won’t get your money back. I know it seems harsh but it’s a lot of extra work if people don’t play by the rules.
These are the photo rules:
Your file name should be in the form of Photographers Name_Name of Photo.jpg
Your photograph should not have any copyright or watermark information on it – feel free to include it in the meta data if you wish but there should be nothing visible so judging can be anonymous. You retain full copyright of your image and it will not be posted (with exception of private judging gallery) without credit.
Your photo should not have excessive ‘photoshopping’ such as selective color, extreme saturation/color, added blur and vignette effects, text overlays or obvious photo manipulation.
The photo must be taken by the person entering the contest, if under 18 it can be submitted by a parent or guardian with the name of the child who took it.
It’s about time I announce the winner of the clickinmoms.com contest…
True Random Number Generator 1 5 1 (From Random.org)
So that makes the winner – Sally Foiles
Congrats Sally!
We’re giving away a membership to clickinmoms.com a great photography forum.
Taken from Clickin Moms website:
“We are a community of women who have a passion for photography. Some of us are amateur photographers who just want to take better pictures of our family, some of us are hobbyists, and some of us are seasoned pros.
We learn from each other and help each other. We have all types of cameras, but most of us are working on our skills with our DSLR’s. If you are in the market for a new camera, please ask our advice for body and lens recommendations!
This is a safe place to share your photos and chat about photography. Our forums and galleries are closed to non-members. All members must register through this site and Paypal, which makes it a more secure place than some of the free photo sites.
Our site features great and easy to understand tutorials, lessons and challenges. All of the contributions are from fellow members who are more than happy to help and give advice to one another.
We host amazing photography vendors who offer us discounts and group buys on their products. They frequently donate prizes for our photography contests.
We pay back our members who contribute. We offer substantial affiliate commissions and cash/ prize rewards for members who contribute and participate. In fact, more than half of the profits go right back to our members.
We have great bunch of women that enjoy hanging out with people that have a common passion – photography!
Come on in, learn something, inspire, be inspired, and join the fun! If you aren’t hooked on photography now, you soon will be!”
To win a membership leave a comment here or on the facebook page about what you love best about photography. Once again the winner will be chosen at random from the posts, however, there is only one winner this time.
For an extra entry, tweet, post or share this elsewhere and tell us where to look!
Here’s the chance for all those that have been paying attention to get a free entry!
You have until midnight tonight to leave a comment on this blog about what you’re looking forward to for the holidays and for an additional entry you can head over to the forum (Misc section, holiday post) and comment there as well!
There will be one winner randomly chosen from the blog comments and one chosen from the forum comments.
It’s November 1st and it’s time to enter the contest!
Of course each new project is not without issues of it’s own and I experianced the first issue this weekend while trying to get the file uploader to cooperate. It wasn’t happening. So right now there is a temporary solution for you to enter the contest and I hope to have a more permanent and convient fix within the week.
In the mean time get out there and take some photos!
