I've always thought it would be cool to host my own photo contest and, after much thought, am happy to announce that this dream is now going to become a reality. Starting today, you can enter for your chance to win one of three prizes:
- The 1st Place winner will receive a small blog makeover. You'll get a customized slideshow header with up to 5 photos of your choice (example), an expandable toggle panel as can be seen on my sidebar, your own "Contact Me" form, and a custom blog button to match your new design.*
- The 2nd Place winner will receive their choice of any one of the above prizes .
- The 3rd Place winner gets a full resolution, digital copy of the photo they choose from my collection.
So how do you enter? Simply select a nature photo you took that has something unique about it, resize it to around 500 pixels wide if possible, and send it to me via the form below. As this is a completely anonymous contest, you'll also be asked to enter your favorite Bible verse in order for me to verify your identity should you win a prize. The deadline to enter is April 10, though it could be extended if I'm still getting lots of submissions.
That's it! You don't have to post about me on your blog, send my link to all your friends, or even be a follower! While I do request that you add my button to your sidebar after you enter, there's no need to fear disqualification if you don't. I'm hosting this contest to give you guys a good time and the opportunity to win something free, not to get publicity for my blog.
So what are you waiting for? You have nothing to lose and an awesome blog makeover to gain. Let the winning begin!

NOTE: Due to the nature of this contest and in order to avoid cheating, I will be unable to accept multiple entries from the same I.P. address. In addition, please refrain from any "I've entered" comments which would give away which photo is yours.
*For blogger blogs only. I will provide the prize, but it's your responsibility to make sure it looks good with the rest of your blog. If a slideshow header would stand out like a sore thumb on your site please take that into consideration before entering. From my own experience, they work best when your current header is either plain text or a single image. You can also opt out of certain parts of the prize and choose only the features that appeal to you.
