The weekly photo contest is designed to allow a wide range of photographer skills in order to encourage participation without requiring memberships or fancy stipulations.  Each week’s challenge also invites people to submit their pictures from where they are without having to gallop all over the globe to find a worthy shot.  My theme for this week is “greeting card photos.”   Send me your digital photo that you think would make a nice Thanksgiving or birthday greeting card.  Can you inspire a lasting memory for a worthy recipient?  There is nothing to buy in order to win.  Questions?  Check out our weekly photo contest rules for more information, and enter early for your best chance to win.

Our weekly photo contest is a great way to celebrate your memories in pictures and share them with others while winning prizes.  In keeping with the theme of “blooming idiots” for this week, enter your favorite flower macro shot for a chance to win weekly, monthly, or even a yearly prize from just one entry.

The month of July marks a special time of celebration in the United States, so we thought it would be fun to add to the festivities by launching a special series of digital photo contests.  Starting in July, we will launch the first weekly contest using a theme of scenic photos.  The competition is open for all digital photo enthusiasts, with details available with each week’s prize posting.

As the weeks progress, the top three winners from each weekly contest will automatically be entered into the monthly competition, to receive more prizes.  Since the monthly prize winners are selected from the weekly competitors, this means that you have a chance to win another prize without any extra effort!  If nobody enters one or more of the weekly contests, chances improve for anyone who participates to win a monthly prize as well.  The July monthly prize offering will be awarded to winners chosen from first, second, and third place weekly picks.  Prizes offered at the monthly level include the following:

First Place – 3 free digital photo treatments of your choice, made from your own photos, or you can use your prize credits toward one of our own creations posted on our site.  You can choose from a digital plaque, award, matted photo, or calendar page creation from your pictures.

Second Place – 2 free digital photo treatments of your choice, made from your photos, selected from the product categories mentioned above.

Third Place – 1 free digital photo treatment of your choice from one of our digital creation categories.

If there are no participants in the weekly contests, no weekly or monthly prizes will be awarded.  Winners can choose to have prizes made from winning weekly entries, or provide new pictures for us to work with.  Winners will be notified by email, and given prize credits for monthly winnings to be redeemed within 30 days of prize notification. 

Unredeemed prize credits will be void after 30 days.  Your finished creations may be showcased by being posted on our site.  Give your photos the highlighting they deserve by entering them in our contests. 

When we receive regular monthly participation in our contests, the top 3 winners of monthly prizes will be automatically entered in our yearly prize competition levels.  Details of potential yearly contest prizes will be posted in an article describing our yearly contest rewards.  If we do not have regular monthly winners, there will be no annual prizes awarded.  You have nothing to lose, so cash in on the fun, and make your digital photos look like a million.

Beginning in July, we will be introducing a new approach to our photo contests.  The idea is to offer you a chance to win prizes at weekly, monthly, and even yearly levels.  This competition is too big for one posting, so be sure to check out the details of our upcoming monthly and yearly contests as well.

During our first week, beginning July 5, we will sponsor a scenery photo contest for digital photo enthusiasts.  Anyone can participate by entering one photo of their favorite local sightseeing hangout.  Photos need to be in .JPG format, no larger than 4mb and named using a unique value to avoid being overwritten by other participants. Upload your entry to:

After your photo has been uploaded to the above location, send an email to jdir@bhotechnologists.com to provide details about the file name of your photo, your photo location and composition, and your desire to enter it in our contest.  PLEASE DO NOT attempt to enter by attaching photos to your email messages.  From the entries we receive, we will select a first, second, and third place winner. For the week ending 7/11/09.  Winning contestants will be notified by email, and their prizes posted on the site for download. 

Weekly prizes will be digital awards acknowledging the winners, including their name, winning week, and a copy of their winning photograph incorporated into the award.  See below for a sample award, which will vary depending on the weekly contest theme.

In addition to the digital awards for weekly winners, we will automatically enter the top 3 winners into our monthly contest.  See the upcoming monthly contest post for details about monthly prizes.  On Saturdays we will post awards for the week, and announce the theme for the coming week’s contest.
