Photo of the Month Contest

Tender Expressions Photography appreciates all those who have sessions with me and in return I want to give those people an opportunity to win something throughout the year. If you know me, I love contests! I think this one is the best yet!
The contest:
This new contest is TEP's Picture of the Month Facebook Contest which will be held every month (if the July contest goes well), and it is held for those who have sessions the previous month! Each family who has a session with me during the month (so this first draw is for July) will get the chance to choose one picture from their session gallery to enter into the Picture of the Month contest and let me know which one they choose. When it comes time, I will post their chosen picture into that month's contest which will run the last week of the month. During the contest I will ask my fans to vote by "liking" the photo they think should win the contest and please feel free to invite your friends and family to vote as well. Everyone can only vote once or their vote does not count. Please be aware that in order to like things on a page, Facebook makes you have to like the page first, so for those that are not a fan on the TEP page yet, they will have to like the page first to vote. For each vote you get, your name will be entered into a draw and on the last day the draw will be held and announced. The draw will take place on Random.org so my hands are tied on who will win.

What will I win? The winner of the contest each month will get a picture from their session put on the main page of Tender Expressions Photography website for the following month, they will get a picture from their session put as Tender Expressions Photography's Facebook profile picture for the month and of course they will get the spot of being announced as TEP's picture of the month on Facebook and on my blog and get the bragging rights to go along with it. Please note that for the pictures posted on the website and profile picture, they will be chosen by myself from your session to ensure there is a variety of pictures and poses displayed from month to month. If this contest should go well, at the end of the year each month's winner will be entered into a contest to win some free prints for their next session.
For those who may have sessions after the contest of the month has started (so within the last week or so of the month) you will be entered into the next month's contest.

The technicalities of the draw: names will be numbered for the draw and will go in order of when during the month they had their session. Ie Mary had her session on the 5th of month and was the first to have a session that month she would be #1. Johnny had the next session and had his family session on the 8th, he would be #2. For every vote each person has, their numbers will alternate so that their numbers are not all in a row and this would continue for every person in the draw that month. So if 5 people had sessions that month the first person would be #1 and #6 if they got 2 votes. This seems very confusing to explain and I hope its clear but if you have any questions, please ask!
