I would like to increase the number of Facebook fans that I share my creations with.

The rules are simple. The contest runs from today through April 30th. For every 10 Facebook fans I have on the 30th, you will get 1% off (up to 50% total) any print in the store. So, for example right now, there are 122 fans which would be worth 12% off anything in the print store. See current prints choices here, though more may be added by the 30th.

However, that is not all. For every 50 fans I have, I will give away one 8×10 print of your choice to some lucky winners — no limit. So if I have 500 fans, I will give away 10 prints, if I have 1000 then 20 prints, and, unlike some contests, you can win multiple times. One lucky winner will receive a 16×20 of their choice.

There are multiple ways to enter.

1. “Like” Photokapi on Facebook. 1 entry, but you must comment on this post too for it to count.
2. Follow me on Twitter and re-tweet this post and make sure you tag me in your post @photokapi. 1 entry.
3. Comment/Critique previous posts, no matter how old – 1 entry per post, only rule is comments and critiques must be real, not just “Nifty” or “Cool!”. I am the sole judge on this one; it can be praise or criticism, but it has to be thought out.
4. Follow me on Pinterest. – 1 entry
5. Pin this post (see pin button below) – 1 entry

Comment on this post with the ways you entered, so I can match them up.

Fine Print: All categories (except People) are available as a print choice. Some photos will need to be cropped as an 8×10. International winners may not be eligible for prizes, but will still receive the coupon for discount on purchases. Coupon does not include shipping costs. My decision is final. No amount of begging or pleading will get me to change it, though a pan of brownies might get you an extra entry. Winners will be determined by random.org in the first week of May. Any substitutions are at my sole discretion. No cash value. Not valid in the states or countries it’s not valid in.

Challenge will start Dec 1st, 2011.

Geoff: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Photokapi book.  And my children are loving it, too!  I am so glad I was the winner!!!

On that note, why not have ANOTHER contest?!

Prize: Photo of your choice from the blog framed and shipped to you (or hand delivered depending on location.)

Requirements:

1. Comment on at least 10 photos with a constructive criticism (or lavish praise).
2. Become a fan on Facebook, and for every friend you refer that also becomes a fan, you get an extra entry. Send me the names of the people you referred. (If you don’t have a Facebook account, you are still eligible, but get extra entries for getting me some extra fans on Facebook.)

Entry Deadline: July 1st, 2011, so start commenting!

1. You must comment a total of 15 times by the end of March.
2. You may comment on pictures from last year, but at least 5 need to be from 2011.
3. There will be at least one winner, but maybe more, and they can choose from one of the following 9 photo sets. Images will be 4×6 and a set of 3 or 4 images depending on which set is chosen.
4. I have not decided on framing options yet, but they will probably be framed separately if at all.
5. For every 10 comments past 15, you will receive 1 additional entry into the contest.
6. Comments must be meaningful, but can be as simple as: “Wow I like this because of…” or Don’t really like this one because of…”

Good Luck!

1. You are eligible to win again, even if you have won before.
2. You must comment on a total of TWENTY pictures between today and the end of the contest (December 31st).

The final prize is a coffee table book with at least TWENTY of your favorite pictures of the year. It will be at least 8×8, but depending on how many people enter there may be more than 1 prize given away as there has been in the past.

Good Luck, and thanks for participating.

Rules:

1. Must make constructive comments on at least 10 different posts. For every 3 comments thereafter, you earn another entry.

Good Luck!

As an added bonus, a second winner was selected as well, Darla Jones, and she will receive a framed 8×10 of her choice of photo to display in her home.

Thank you to all who participated, and watch for future contests and giveaways. I really appreciate all the constructive criticism, as well as the glowing compliments. Hopefully my photos continue to improve.
