Hi Everyone,

I entered the Our State magazine photo contest with my Challenge #55 winner from last summer. surprisingly, the photo is running in the top 5 out of 1888 photos. I need your votes!

If you are so inclined, voting is once a day and goes on every day until August 8. It seems that it's the one with the biggest network that wins. Since it is sitting near the top, I thought I's ask for your help. I'm not in it for the prize money, I'm in it to add to my list of publications because I'm just starting to get more event photography jobs.

Here's the link:

If you'd like to help out, here's the link:

    How do you find these contests? Every time I look, I find junk.

    I'm off to vote again. Good luck!

    Thanks guys. Sandi, I stumbled across this one by mistake. I rarely enter anything unless it is juried. The "people's choice" contests like this one have a tendency to be a contest for the largest social network. When I entered, I thought the people's choice part was just a facet with real judges choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

    Look locally, too. Lots of arts orgs host juried shows and competitions.

    One very interesting bystander effect is that I have sold a few more copies of this photo from the exposure in this contest. I never thought about that angle before.

    Thanks again. Chris
