Flaunt Your Rock – An Engagement Contest
LOVE is in the air! Did you recently get engaged and are beaming with pride over the shiny rock
on your finger? Want to flaunt it some more? In honor of all the love going around, I am holding
a contest for you engaged love birds to show off your new bling!
What do you get for flaunting that shiny new rock? The winner will receive a one hour
engagement session and 15 images on a DVD for you to enjoy forever.
The Details:
• Submit 1 photograph of your ring & 1 photograph of yourselves (please do not submit
images taken by another professional photographer).
• Encourage all of your friends and family to vote for you. The ring with the most votes wins!
• Engaged couples only.
• Open to both Vancouver and Edmonton couples (there will be a winner for each city!)
All submissions must be received by midnight March 5th, 2010.
Entries will be judged by a panel of photographers who will narrow down the selection to 3 rings.
The finalists will be posted on this blog and the winner will be chosen via a public voting
poll. Voting will occur between March 7-March 13, 2010. There are specific rules around voting
that will be clarified during the voting round of the contest.
Winners will be announced on March 15th, 2010. Winning session must take place between
March 22-May 1st. Winners must sign a release to allow Cathy Empey to display images on blog,
website, Facebook Business Page and any other print or web materials as deemed appropriate.
