*** The contest has officially ended! Winners have been announced! Click here! ***
2010 has been an amazing, rewarding + record year for me at Crabapple Photography. I believe it’s high time I thank those who were directly involved with making this fantastic year a reality. I’m speaking of course about you, the client. If you were photographed by Crabapple Photography over the past year, you are automatically entered to win a glamourous, stunning + fantabulous PRIZE!
:: What is it? The Rules + Such ::
A photo from most sessions has been chosen and displayed here in chronological order from 1/2010 on to be voted for (no I will not use a different image). The top 3 photos with the most votes wins a fabulous prize! If you’d rather not be a participant, email me and I will remove your photo tout de suite.
Choose your favorite photo by leaving a comment in the comment box below with the number of the photo you are voting for and a valid email address. Any comments left anywhere else (facebook, twitter, emailed, etc.) won’t be counted. If you’ve never left a comment, I will have to approve it first so don’t worry if you don’t see it right away. Only leave ONE comment, I cannot be fooled! Play fair. There are ways to get more votes though so fear not:
- If you are a Crabapple Photography Facebook fan, you can leave an extra comment (let me know it’s your fb comment).
- If you are a Twitter follower, leave an extra comment (and what your twitter name is)
- If you happen to have family or friends, they have votes! So pass along the link and get everyone you know involved to root for you. It is really the least they could do, huh? Copy and paste the link to this blog post: crabapplephotography.com/blog/2010/12/thank-you.
:: THE PRIZES! ::
FIRST PRIZE! The photo with the most legitimate votes (I will be scrutinizing!) wins a FREE SESSION for 2011! Session may be maternity, newborn, baby, child, family or engagement. Also feel free to choose the 2nd or 3rd place prizes instead. Amazing!
SECOND PRIZE! The second prize winner receives a 16×20 fine art canvas gallery wrap with the photo of your choice. Stunning!
THIRD PRIZE! The third prize winner receives a storyboard print of your choice. Love it!
RANDOM WINNERS! Once the polls have closed, I will be using random.org to choose 3 extra winners based on comment number. The photo that was voted for in that comment will receive a free 8 x 10 of their choice. In the event the same photo wins multiple times, I will move on so there are 3 unique winners.
The contest will take place starting from Thursday December 9th, until Friday December 17th at 11:59PM EST. Winners will be announced here on the blog Monday the 20th. Make sure you scroll all the way through, amazing entries await you all the way down! There are 54 images and the page takes a moment to load. It is well worth the wait! The very last image is an extra one I added for LG. Without his love + support, Crabapple Photography’s 2010 would not have been. He pretty much thinks this is the best photo I have ever taken in my life, so it is included in the contest!
