It has been entirely too long since I’ve held a contest. Entirely.

And, since I’ve been “supervising” the installation of new floors in the studio this week, it got me thinking about all the new goodies I am going to be able to print to decorate when it’s all finished (side note – if you love me, you will cross your fingers that “finished” happens very, very soon… please?).

That said, how about a little contest?

I’m currently debating between the following 5 images to be printed on standard canvas (3/4″ wide frame) for a special place on my new office walls. I thought to myself what a great time this would be to share the canvas love.

So, here’s how it works: if your child(ren) are featured in the images below, you need to get on the horn (email, text, pony express, carrier pigeon – what ever your preferred method of communication is these days) and tell all of your friends/family to do the following:

1. Become a fan of Preserved Photography on Facebook! (this part’s easy, just click here). If your friend/family member is already a fan, just skip this step.

2. Send me an email (melissa@preservedphoto.com) including their First/Last name, and the number of the photo (yours, obviously) that they’re voting for.

That simple.

The winning photo will be printed on 16×24 standard canvas for the studio for all the world to see… and, the best part?

The winner (or parent of the adorable child whose photo wins, rather) will receive a FREE 11×14 standard canvas of their choice. Party on.

**Contest will end at midnight on Friday, September 11, 2009 – all votes must be received prior to 12:00 midnight CST on this date**

Here are the finalists!
