I Love You! Photo Contest

Welcome to my first official contest on my blog!  I am a little sad we can no longer do contests on Facebook (here is the official FB guidelines for those wondering Facebook Contest Rules)...it did seem a lot easier...it just involved clicking like on a photo!  So we will see how it goes on here. 

The theme is "I Love You".  I love this theme because pretty much anyone can enter this category.  I just want to see a photo that shows "I love you".  It can be a photo of you and your spouse, your children, your pet, anyone you love.


What to do:
Email a photo to: Stacy@stacyvandyckphotography.com
by Feb. 12th, 2011. 10pm CT. Only one photo per family please.
That evening I will upload all of the photos at once, to my blog.
Please include your Name and contact information in the email so I can be sure to notify winners!

Voting will be based off of blog comments.  I will number all of the photos.  Post or email the link to my blog, and tell people which photo number is yours.  Each person can only vote for one photo to avoid confusion.  Just simply say "I vote for photo #.....". 

Prizes:
Everyone who enters will recieve a free 8x10 print good on any session that took or will take place from Jan.1.2011-May.1.2011.  (In order to redeem these, you must stop by my studio and pick up your voucher within 1 week after the end of the contest)

3 prizes will be given away based on number of votes recieved:

1st place- Will recieve a free studio session, which includes your personal proof website, an 8x11 proofing book, and a $25 print credit!

2nd place- $50 gift cerficiate good towards Session fees, prints, digital imags, or products.

3rd place- $25 gift cerficiate good towards Session fees, prints, digital imags, or products.


1 prize will be given away based on content of photo, the one which I believe shows the most LOVE!
*Another FREE session!

**Free Sessions are only good towards FUTURE free sessions, and must be redeemed by May 1st 2011.  Gift certificates may be used on a previous or future session, but must be redeemed by May 1st 2011.

Okay so here is the boring part where I talk about the rules:
*One Photo per family
*Please keep all photos PG.  A kissing photo is fine, but please make sure they are appropriate for kids to see, just in case.
*Voting will take place once all photos have been submitted, and I will end voting on Valentine's Day at 8pm CT (I know, short contest, but it seemed appropriate to announce the winners on Valentine's Day!)
*Professional photos will be accepted only if the photo contains the photographer's watermark/logo, or you can prove copyright release to use the photo)
*Please be honest and only vote once.  Any double votes by the same person will be thrown out and will not count.
*Photos will not be accepted through my facebook page, nor will any voting take place on there, please be sure to email your photos. You can however, tell people about my fan page and tell them how cool they would be if they "liked" it :D

Remember, the more you share my blog link, the more votes you will get!

And because no post is complete without photo awesomeness......



Haha...I bet his mom wanted to use this photo for the contest too :)
