This is an express challenge

Reminder everyone: PLEASE remember to add your Dgrin name so we can find you and PLEASE check back at the end because if you've won we depend on you for the next contest!
CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE GALLERY

or go to: www.smugmug.com

login: DgrinExtras
password: knockknock

Then go to: Wedding Challenge • 04/2012 • Tears

From there you should be able to upload a pic, but let me know if you have any questions (see top right corner / UPLOAD > TO THIS GALLERY)
When you upload a photo, please mention YOUR NAME below the photo, or your nickname (I need to be able to contact you, if you win, so don't make me chase ya down). Please do NOT upload full res files as I can't take any responsibilities for it and don't want the photo to end up in the wrong hands. Feel free to put your name on the photo.

Once we announce the winner, the top 3 pics will receive a 1st / 2nd / 3rd place badge

The CUT-OFF date is April 30th Aurora will then have time to choose the 3 winners and will announce them by May 5th

Let me know if you have any questions.

Shhhhhht, there are 2 entries allowed per person.
Let's gooooooo!!!

Wow such a GREAT challenge idea! I'll have to dig up some tears for this one. No, not my own tears. Other people's... ;-)

ssimmonsphoto · Apr-13-2012, 05:27 AM #3

Hmmm... I've got one in my archives to dig out (and likely reprocess) of a bride in tears. But, unless this weekend's wedding brings out the waterworks, that's all I've got!

So this goes through the end of May now?

**sphynge** · May-14-2012, 10:37 PM #6

Yes it does.

Wachel · May-27-2012, 04:33 PM #7

Tossed mine in the mix.

Shima · Jun-10-2012, 07:42 AM #8

Was a winner announced? I only noticed 4 photos in there, so I'm guessing no?

Will there be a June/July contest?

**sphynge** · Jun-11-2012, 11:03 AM #9

I'm hoping to get that sorted out shortly

**sphynge** · Jun-20-2012, 09:39 PM #10

Gah - still no answer from Aurora... might get someone else to judge!

Foques · Jun-22-2012, 05:45 AM #11

But we have plenty of good people here - Art Scott, Matt, VayCayMom, just to name a very few.
I wonder if a big name photog could be contacted with request to judge for us.. (I mean, lets face it, this forum has the best content/pros on the web. Well, MAYBE, 500px beats this board..)
Just saying.

Please remove my entry from the gallery. I've tried to do it myself but the delete button is greyed out.

Thank you

Wachel · Jul-15-2012, 05:35 PM #13

Yes, please remove mine as well. Thanks.

jbakerphoto · Jul-17-2012, 09:17 AM #14

please remove mine as well. Thanks!!!

**Steve Cavigliano** · Jul-18-2012, 06:33 PM #15

Hi Folks,
Sorry for the delay. We have removed the 3 photos, per your request.

**sphynge** · Jul-21-2012, 02:23 PM #16

Sorry I've been MIA, personal emergency.

Foques, would you be willing to be the judge? Should we do a call to entry for the rest of 2012 judging? I think the problem is that with seasonal peaks in business, it's hard for some to come back with judging within the timelines. Thoughts?

Foques · Jul-23-2012, 05:45 AM #17

me? a judge? While it would be a great honor, I am not sure that I qualify even remotely.
