Halloween themed photo contest

Halloween is right around the corner

Results (or more accurately non-results) of the first week of our photo contest

Much to my surprise…

and a little to my dismay as well, there where no entries into the first week of the Creative Dreamers Photo Contest. This being the case, there is obviously no winner to announce.

I’m hoping things will chance this week with the theme of the contest being “Nature and Wildlife.”

If you’re so inclined, please enter for your chance to win the Deluxe version of my E-Book “Making Beautiful Photography: A Guide for the Novice and the Enthusiast” which even comes with several awesome video tutorials.

Good luck to all who choose to enter and I look forward to seeing the work of some very talented photographers.

The Creative Dreamers four week photography contest is starting off strong.

I encourage anyone interested in participating to get your submission in ASAP. There are so many talented photographers out there and I hope to see some of your amazing work. Anyone ranging in skill and experience level from novice to seasoned professional is welcome to join in on the fun.

Once again, submissions can be sent to trcapromo@gmail.com and should be less than 1 MB each in file size.
