I am preparing for my upcoming vacation and thought it would be fun to have a few contests to celebrate. So here’s what I’ve come up with. I am looking for a photo that says vacation to you. What does this mean exactly? Well, let me clarify . . . it doesn’t need to be an image of you on vacation (however that would work too) but rather an image that when you look at it, you think ….ahhhhhhhhh vacation. I don’t want to taint you with my thoughts because I don’t want to influence your creative process. Images are going to be judged on creativity as well as photography skills (i.e. focus & exposure). More than anything though the image should tell a story. The viewer should be able to look at the the image and immediately think – vacation.

Now for the prizes*: There will be two contests, one for June and one for July. Each month there will be two winners, each will receive a $50 Beth Benoit Photography gift certificate. Then, there will also be a grand prize winner chosen from all the entries who will receive a $100 Beth Benoit Photography gift certificate. So I will be giving away 5 prizes total.

Are you excited yet??? Well, get those cameras out. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Have fun! Send your entry to: beth@bethbenoit.com
