I see we are back...Thanks again, Laura!

"We are looking for images that are striking because of their use of light" - contest announcement

What better than a lightning strike I say? So sad....zero votes for that photo....and it fit perfectly. };]

Just kidding, congratulations to all of the winners. Some cool photos here. 

I'm curious though, perhaps this contest could get more publicity so there are more submissions and votes? I am not sure how, but only 129 votes? There are WAY more people with zenfolio accounts than that right? I have a feeling only the forum users are ever really aware of these contests. Perhaps some type of post on the home page itself?

Regardless, I look forward to the next contest, and again, congratulations to the winners.

I agree 100%, I was so happy that my photo CARNIVAL got in and then it seemed like no one came back to vote.  I kept holding out hope that people might vote at the last minute and then nothing... :(  Maybe next time.... oh so very sad.... :(

We announced voting for this contest here, in our Blog, on our Facebook page and on Twitter. We thought more people would vote as well.

Hi Laura,

  I was wondering how often Zenfolio has these contests? I'm kinda new to Zenfolio and It's been so much fun having my photo CARNIVAL in the final 30 that I want to make sure I don't miss any future contest.  Everyone picks on me because 90% of my photos are vertical and now that I know you need horizontal photos I'm going to try to challenge myself to take more horizontal photos.... :):)

These contests are held every few months.

Wait... we're on Facebook... or should I say Zenfolio is on facebook.. haha..

I looked for Zenfolio on FB and didn't find you.... I'll just have to look again.. cool..:):)

Ahhh...well then, it's definitely no fault of the zen peeps, but just a lack of community. };]

Quick question Laura. On the next contest (if I don't miss it), do you guys mind if I post links on a couple of the photog forums I visit? That would probably make a few of the zenfolio users there more aware of what is going on so they can submit some work as well. Not many of us frequent this forum from what I've seen.

Regardless, thanks for giving us an opportunity to share our little pieces of the world.

That would be great, we appreciate you spreading the word. 

Zenfolio on Facebook - cool!

Congratulations to the top 10!  As someone said last week, they will look great at the "front door"!

Thanks to Laura and Zen folks for organizing the contest - it was a lovely way to see some fantastic work from the Zenfolio community.

How about a mass e-mailing to all the zenfolio customers for those that don't use those services or at least don't follow zenfolio on some of those services?  Maybe a monthly newsletter to everyone with a paying account to keep everyone in the loop would be a good feature to add (without starting a new thread in "request for new features").  New features, contests, promotions, and so on.

Oh, by the way, who won?  the old photos are still on the front page and I don't want to scroll up and down the page on the op to try and figure out what the top 10 are.

WOW its very cool to see one of my photos as a finalist (under the bridge). Thank you again to the Zenfolio crew and to those who voted for my photo!
