What Is The Image of the Year Contest?
To celebrate the launch of my new blog and to celebrate past clients, I have nominated Signature Portraits where clients completed their Reveal and Order Session in the years of 2022 & 2023. Since this is the inaugural contest, I wanted to have the nominations include both 2023 & 2022.
You, as an audience will vote on your favorite portrait below.
The winners will get to take home some amazing prizes!
ROUND 1
How Do I Vote For An Image?
Voting for round 1 is simple and takes place right here on this page.
First, scroll down to the photograph that you want to vote for. Note the image number and name of the subject.
At the top or bottom of this page is a a form to fill out (either form works, they are identical)
Fill out the form and select the image# that you would like to win.
Press Submit!
That’s it!
What Are The Prizes?
1st Place: Your Choice of either a | Signature Portrait Session and 20 Image Album | OR a | 30″ Framed Wall Portrait from a previous session | (Both Prizes are valued at over $2000)
Yes, that’s correct! I’m giving away either a museum quality wall portrait OR a complete portrait session and album. This can be any type of session (family, senior, junior livestock, etc.) A lot changes in a year. Kids grow up, more family memories are made, and show stock comes and goes. You have every reason to want to stop time before another year passes. I would love to slow down time with you and capture more lifelong memories together.
2nd Place: $500 Print Credit
Order any products from a previous session or use it towards your next portrait session.
3rd Place: $250 Print Credit
Pick out a gift for family or friends, order something for yourself from a previous session, or use it towards your next portrait session.
How Can I Win?
First off, share this with as many friends and family as you can. The more people you have to vote for you, the better your chances are. Sharing on Facebook and Instagram and emailing friends and family will greatly help.
