Contest of Creativity

Spring is a busy time of year for Thornton Photography. What better way to break into the new season than with a contest. This one will be a little different in that not only will we be voting for your pictures, but they will be ones you take specifically for this contest. I'm challenging all you moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas to get out your camera, dust if off a little and have some fun! Take a picture that symbolizes "New Beginnings" to you. Spring offers so many new beginnings for everyone and everything so use your imagination! You have until the end of February and voting will begin March 1 as soon as the entries are posted, and end March 7th at 10:00 p.m. CST. Here are the requirements:

Entry Rules:

1. Photos must be taken between February 17th and February 28th.
2. All entries must be emailed to me at allison@thornton-photography.com by 2/28/09 at 10:00p.m.
3. Only one photo entry per contestant. You must have taken the photo yourself.
4. All entries must fit the "New Beginnings" theme.
   

Voting Rules:

1. Only one vote per computer.
2. Your aunt, uncle, boy next door and neighbor you barely know can all vote for you and you can even tell them to.
3. In order to vote you must use the contact form at my website. Comments left on the blog will not be counted in the voting.
   

Here are some images for inspiration. Some were taken with my point and shoot, some my professional camera, and one even a friend did.

I will be awarding prizes for first, second and third place winners. All other entries will receive a little somethin' somethin' too.

The first place winner will receive a gift certificate for a full session (up to 6 people) and a 10 page brag book. ($300+ value)

The second place winner will receive a gift certificate for a 10x20 Storyboard and duplicate Desk Mini and easel from your next paid session. ($130 value)

The third place winner will receive a gift certificate for one box (25) of 5x7 flat cards from your next paid session. These cards will be custom designed for you and can be used as Thank You Cards, Birth Announcements, or Holiday Cards.

Good Luck!
