| Fall Photography Contest 2017 | Let's Do This Again

Are we still doing the Photography Contest?  Yes we are!  I don't know what happened, but somehow I just lost track of due dates and deadlines and forgot to advertise for this thing.  Same instructions, but different due dates.  Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience!  Here are the instructions as a reminder:

What are the parameters?  What are the prizes?  What is the due date?

Good questions.  Well, much like in previous contests, the rules are:

1.  You need to submit one photo.

2.  The photo has to be taken by you.

3.  It should have the theme of fall.

4.  Once taken, email me at samwiseonabike@gmail.com with your submission.

5.  The due date is:  Thursday, November 2nd 11:55 PT.

Once submitted, I will air them all out, so that everyone may vote.  The voting process isn't difficult.  I'll post them on the 2nd, and you will have ONE week to cast all of your votes.  One like/favorite=one vote.  (You can vote on all the different platforms, so theoretically, you could vote for yourself three times.)

Where do you vote?

You will be able to vote on Facebook, Instagram, and even Google+.  Follow my blog profile on Instragram at a_lil_more_alive to vote on the Gram.

Prizes?

The winner will receive a $20 gift card to the establishment of their choice, and also a blog post showcasing more of their photography!

Get those submissions in:)

Fall Photography Contest

Being in the desert, I recognized very quickly the lack of fall colors.  As much as I love this sunlight, fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love when the trees are aflame with color, when the colors make one last burst of brightness.  It just cannot be matched.  With this in mind, it struck me to have a contest.  I basically opened up for submissions, and then post it in an album on facebook.  Whichever captured the most likes would win.  The prize would be for more photos of the winner to be "showcased," if you would, in a blog post.

Thus, the victor of the first contest was Nickolaus Mack.  The following are some of the most fantastic photographs that you could find around this time of year:

This is the one he originally entered, and the one that won.

Once again, congratulations Nick!  Great photos!  Hope you all enjoyed them!  And thank you to all the other entrees.  There were some good photos out there.

I'm thinking of doing a contest similar to this one, but set in winter instead..  So keep your eyes out for that!
