Let’s See Your Ideas | Photographer’s Photo Block Contest

This post is specifically for my fellow photographers…  but clients, never fear!  I have a SURPRISE coming your way soon, also! 

Since the beginning of the year, I have had hundreds of images come through my inbox from other photographers (amazing, talented photographers) for photo block orders.  And every time, I get so excited to print your images and create your items…  and what gets me REALLY excited?  When one of you has a unique idea for what to put ON your photo blocks.

I’ve seen baptismal announcements, birth announcements, storyboards… you name it.  All in just a few short months.

To add to that, I can’t believe how YOU have all helped spread the word about my little blocks.  And I’m thinking a contest is in order… yes?

Here’s how to play:

1.  Create a  file (specs:  6″x8″ / 300dpi) in Photoshop or another application, whatever you’re using.

2.  Put something on that file… anything you can think of that incorporates your images.  There are no rules here, anything goes! (provided it’s family-friendly, of course – you know I have to add that). 

3.  Save it as a JPG & email the file to me (melissa@preservedphoto.com) with a subject line of “IMAGE FOR CONTEST”.

How about a little example?  This is one I just put together as a birth announcement for my nephew…  JPG file is on the left, finished product on the right! 

I’ll accept images from today through Saturday and after they’re all received, we’ll have a big vote over on my Facebook page throughout next week with FOUR winners being selected.  Prizes are as follows:

GRAND PRIZE WINNER:  Chosen based on votes, will receive a full Photographer’s Sample Set of photo blocks, as well as your submission image on a large single-sided block.

TWO RUNNERS-UP:  Chosen based on votes, will receive your submission image on a large single-sided block.

WILD CARD:  Chosen by me… which is going to be a super hard task for me, I’m sure.  Will receive your submission image on a large single-sided block.

That’s it.  Easy peasy.     Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

**Note – contest is open to all US residents as well as my Canadian friends!  S/H is included with prizes won.**
