PHOTO CONTEST RESULTS
Shoot and Share Contest Results
In January I entered a HUGE (and free) photo contest for the 1st time. This contest is called Shoot and Share. As a results of entering this contest, it consumed my life for the entire month of February 😉
There were 332,768 entries total entered into 25 categories and over 100 different countries participated. This contest went 12 rounds.
Since this contest was free to enter I thought, “What the heck! Why not!” So I entered the maximum amount of photos which was 50 as a result, I am happy to report that I did quite well!!
I did not expect to do as well as I did, so I am pleased and wanted to share my excitement and results with you all 🙂 Can I get a whoop whoop?!!?!!
Out of the 50 images I entered :
- #1 made it to the Top 100 (which placed 66/23,969 in the Children:Kids/Teens Category)
- #1 made it as a Finalist (which placed 402/35,527 in The Wedding Couple Category–that’s the top 3.5%!!)
- #14 made it to the top 10%
- #7 in the Top 20%
- And #6 in the Top 30%
Even though this contest consumed me and my time … I am excited to enter again next year!
Some of you clients of mine may recognize some of these images!! 🙂 I appreciate every single one of my clients to the moon and back 🙂 Thank you to all of you for having me as your photographer!
