creatively you: a photo contest





CLOSED




Welcome to Rise and Fly's first photography contest!  Why "Creatively You"?  As a photographer, I've realized that the rest of my family has thousands of photos, while I have the occasional two or three.  Don't mistake this for being vain, it's just evening out the pictures that flash across my camera screen.  :)  You want to remember what YOU looked like don't you?


m y  e n t r y 

If you haven't guessed already, this is a self-portrait photography contest.  With prizes.  Lovely ones.  Here are the rules:




rule 1.  Take a photo of yourself!
rule 2.  Upload it to your blog or Flickr page and include the contest button.  
rule 3.  Come back here and link up. 

That's it. 
There will be four winners.  Now, for the prizes...and just because first is getting a different prize than fourth does not mean that each prize is better than another.  

first place.
vintage inspired flower headband

The winner will receive this lovely headband made by Janelle.

@Gloria A.
I used the Minima Template and manipulated the HTML to get the white background.
