Hi Everyone!!!

We’re super excited to offer something new and different to all of our past clients – a contest!!! So, here’s the story – Pictage (our print lab) is having a call for photographers to submit their favorite photographs with the stories along with them – what makes them meaningful. And, while we definitely have our favorite photographs along with the stories (more being added onto this soon btw), we thought it might be fun to pass this on to our clients.

We know why the photograph is meaningful to us, but we want to know why it is meaningful to you. For Pictage, they’ll have a wide variety of images and will print out 15-30 large prints to hang on their wall with the stories underneath. We love this idea … so much, that we’re going to do it too. Though, we’ll only have three winners – one first place, a second, and a third. The judging of the photographs & stories will be done by Anna and Spencer (us) along with a blind judging panel … and, well, we’re looking for your story. We want to hear why you love the photograph and how it is meaningful to you.

First Place will receive a 30″x40″ print (an 400 value)

Second Place and Third Place will both receive a 16″x20″ print (a 100 value)

(Also, see towards the bottom – everyone can be a winner)

The Rules:

• You have to have been a past client of ours
• The photograph must be one we took
• The maximum the story can be is 400 words
• Only one submission per couple can win (but, you can submit multiple entries)
• You must post the image along with your story on our Anna and Spencer Photography Facebook Wall (you can add comments to your photo submission to complete your story if you need more space/characters – you may have to ‘like’ the page in order to post to it)
• Upload your own image from the disc of images we provided, the social media version, or you can always grab some of our favorites from our blog
• ALL submissions & stores must be submitted by January 30th, 2012
• For the ‘Everyone’s a Winner’ below, the post must have 10 comments before 11:59pm January 30th, 2012 to qualify

- Everyone Can be a Winner -

We’ve decided over here that, you know, we don’t want anyone not feeling like they have a chance to win. So, we’re adding in one more extra item. The owners of any image post on our wall with at least 10 comments from different people will receive an 11×14 professional print of the image. First, second, and third place are excluded from the 11×14 as they are receiving even larger prints. Oh, and, only one 11×14 can be won by any couple (aka, if you have 5 entries all with 50 comments, only one will receive an 11×14)

We instantly have some meaningful images come to our mind – we hope you have some too, and we’d love to hear about them!!

*Small Note – The images above were simply chosen completely at random by Spencer. There won’t be any favoritism in this contest*
*Second Note – If you have trouble putting your photo + story onto our Facebook wall, you can email them to us and we’ll put them on the wall for you*
