**Update – Thanks for your votes everyone. We will have the winners announced on Friday so stay tuned! **

This months photo contest is going to be one that a lot of you specialize in …. Portraits. It can be a family portrait, senior portrait, fun lifestyle portrait…. any type of portrait that you think is your best work. So look over some of your past shoots and find your best portrait photo. I am excited to see everyones entries and am sure there will be some amazing work!

When shooting portraits you need the perfect camera bag to hold those bodies and lenses so we have a great sponsor this month, Shootsac. They are going to give the winner a free Shootsac camera bag! We vote on the images with a panel of 3 photographers (see some good PPA print competition guidelines below). There will be open voting for a fan favorite, and the fan favorite will win a $100 giftcard from Black River Imaging.

The contest will end next week on Wednesday November 24, 2010 and then we will open it up for voting for another week. To enter just upload your image below where it says “Add Photo” (max size 600×400). Make sure to enter your website address or name in the Caption so we know who you are! Also only one entry per person. NOTE: Once you click submit the image does need to be approved and may take a few hours, just click the submit button once we will get your entry online soon. Voting will not be active until after all entries are received on the 24th.

Also we posted a good article last time about what PPA looks for when they do print competitions. For any of you who missed it check out that article here: PPA Print Competition Guidelines. These give you a good understanding about what people look for when judging images.
