Photo Contest #1: City of Orlando ***We Have a Winner!!***

view profile

This is our first of hopefully many photo contests. Below are the rules for submitting your photographs.

The theme for this contest is City of Orlando. Shocking, I know. But hey, it's our first contest. We are looking for the photos that best represent the city. However you want to interpret this is up to you.

It will be good to start out with this one because of the incredible prize!

If you win the photo contest, your prize will be fame, fortune(*), and fantastical glory the likes of which can only be equaled by.... well, winning someone else's photo contest.

* Fortune is no longer available as a prize for this photo contest. The winner will instead receive an equivalent amount of fantastical glory, in addition to that which is already included in the prize.

The winner of this contest will have his or her photo prominently displayed on the group's main page, right where it currently says [YOUR AWESOMENESS HERE].

Okay, here are the rules for submission:

1) Each member may post up to two photos for submission.

2) Please post your photos in Medium size, and number them sequentially (i.e. #7, #8, #9, etc. so each photo submitted has a unique number).

3) If you really like another person's submission, please make an effort to leave a comment on their photo page.


Voting will begin after a sufficient number of entries has been received. Our subsequent contests will have a cutoff time, but for now I want to make sure everyone sees it.

Lake Eola is Orlando. It says a lot about our city.

To depart from the Lake Eola theme: We're a tourist destination city, so here's something a lot of our visitors see!

I just found this old photo in a box of prints from 8 or 9 years ago. Figured I'd add it to the contest.

It would be so nice to shoot this photo again, now that I have a digital SLR and much better lenses. But I can't, and neither can anyone else now that those condos have been built right in between the lake and the building.

Okay, so we have 20 submissions for the City of Orlando contest. That's a pretty great response!

Now it's time to vote -- remember, this contest is about finding not only the "best" photo of the group, but also one that you feel best represents the city. Since the two don't necessarily go hand in hand, you'll have to use your best judgment.

Voting:
1) Carefully review all submissions before deciding -- if you just skim them, you might miss something! :)
2) Vote for TWO photos -- your first choice, and then an alternate, by replying to this thread with the submission numbers above each photo, something like this:

First choice: #22
Second choice: #31


3) You cannot vote for your own photo. Don't be that guy. :-)

Voting will be open until the morning of April 29th.

Good luck to everyone!

Okay, that's it!

By an overwhelming margin (6 out of 13 votes), tsh2115 wins it with photo #2!

Honorable mention goes to netpunk85 for #19, which came in second place.

Congratulations to everyone!
