Introducing..."Of Shadows And Silhouettes" Photography Contest!

*New prizes added!!*

Hello to all of my dear readers!

I sincerely hope everyone had a simply delightful Mother's Day. I know we did! After church, we had our grandmother over for brunch, exchanged cards, gifts, etc., then set off for the beach. It was a lovely time! Now, here is some fun news for you...

This month, I put up a poll for you to cast votes upon, inquiring whether you would be interested in participating in a photo contest hosted here. The large majority of you said that yes, you would be interested. So..it is on!

..Unbeknownst to me, my friend Raquel also put up a similar poll on the same exact day I did. She noticed our matching polls, and presented the idea of hosting a photo contest together. The perfect plan!

Now, this is no ordinary "photo contest." We wanted to make it special--unique. We wanted to find amazing prizes to award the well-chosen winners. We wanted to choose winners not just by quality of photo, but of creative and imaginary dispositions. Thus, after much thought and consideration, we are happy to announce that from today, the 9th, until the 23rd of May, Raquel from God's Daughter and my own From Under My Little Umbrella will be joint-hosting:








 
Super exciting, right? We thought long and hard for a 'unique' theme, and finally came up with this one: shadows and silhouettes! Do you plan on participating? Then read the details carefully! :)

Details:

Theme: Shadows and silhouettes. Any shadow, silhouette you can find out there! The more unique the better. :)

Examples: A cowboy's silhouette, a couple kissing behind something, the shadow of a ballerina, a candle's shadow...

Prizes: The entries will be judged by Raquel, myself, and perhaps some family members/friends according not just to photo quality, but to uniqueness. There will be first and place prizes awarded, with more masculine prizes available should a winner be a guy. :o) We are still working on the 'prize' aspect, but here are some of the lovelies that will be for sure available:

  8. P.S. To my other comment:

    I added another picture to my post (before the deadline), 'cause I ended up getting a pretty picture of a sunset on a river with little duckies in the background. Just thought I'd let you know that the rose picture wasn't the only one, but I guess you would see that in my post. *wink*

    Have a lovely day!

    <3 your sis in Christ,
