The “SHOWIN SOME LOVE” Contest!

Its time we did a photo contest here at The Photo Professional. And what could be better than showin’ lovvvvveeee all the way around?!

THE SCOOP-dee-doop:

  1. Take a pic either of yourself, or someone else holding a sign that says “I <3 The Photo Professional!” Get creative! We’re going to have a judging panel to select for creativity in addition to a people’s choice vote! This can be webcam, point & shoot, or whatever type of cam you want to use. Image quality is not a concern with this one!
  2. Post the photo, or a LINK to the photo in a comment below. If you don’t do this part, you aren’t entered! 
  3. Post the photo to our Facebook Page and anywhere else you’d like to let people know about this contest.
  4. Please include a link to the contest, or a link to thephotoprofessional.com if you are sharing to social networks or photo sharing sites, so others can also enter!
  5. ONE SUBMISSION PER ENTRANT ONLY.. thanks!

PRIZE-Love:

Judges Award for Creativity: We are going to select THREE images for creative content! These three winners will become PERMANENT members of our testing team, meaning you will  receive every single new product release by thephotoprofessional.com, before they’re released, and for free until the end of time! These three winners will also receive $50 to spend freely on our current products. :)

People’s Majority Winner: ONE lucky winner will receive a $100 gift code to The Photo Professional, our earthFrames and leavesFrames collections, and a $50 gift code to Mpix.com!


This is going to be so much fun! We can’t wait to see your photos :)


CONTEST SUBMISSIONS WILL CLOSE this Friday May 14, 2010 and we will post for votes on Monday with final details on when the winners will be announced!

Good Lord, I put "Photography" instead of "Photo" so I had to fix it… sorry about that! I hope I haven't disqualified myself!

Love this contest (and the photo professional!) I used a little creative freedom with the rules. I hope it's okay! These cameras are dear friends of mine, so I thought it was only appropriate for them to hold the sign. :)

Thanks for this fun contest! I used a couple of your textures and one of your magic vintage actions. Enlisted a friend to be my model!
