Spotted photographers: "Spring has Sprung" photo contest

Hey photographers...want a chance to win one of two $25 gift certificates to a local restaurant?

Here's how:

I am putting an event into Spotted called Spring Has Sprung. Everyone has permission to post a gallery to this event.

Your gallery can consist of any type of spring shots - people, parks, pets - anything that says "spring" to you. You can shoot this wherever you think you'll find good spring-style shots.

Post your gallery of spring photos. On Friday, April 24, we will pick two winners based on YOUR VOTES - I will send out an email on that day with a poll embedded and you will pick the winners.

Each gallery will need to have a minimum of 40 photos and adhere to the 60-40 rule.

This contest is a bit of a test to see if there will be interest in this sort of thing in the future.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Good luck!

Do you think that 40 pics minimum is a little much? Can we still post if we don't have 40 pictures or they are not 60/40 ratio? Thank you

well, it's not much of a contest if there isn't a challenge to it...

40 Picture minimum was not very much to ask for. We had 1 week to shoot. To keep the ratio you needed a minimum of 24 SFTC images. That's an average of 3-4 a day.

Throw your camera in the car and wherever you stop Shoot. That may give your gallery variety as well.

Thanks for giving us a challenge.

We choose to go...not because [it is] easy, but because [it is] hard, because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”
