Inspirational Photography Contest

What moves your intellect or emotions? What do you find inspirational? A mother and child. A horse racing across an open field. A pastor baptizing in a river. A plant growing out of a seemingly unhealthy stony ground. Now you can show us your best inspirational photo in our Inspirational Photography Contest. The winner of this photography contest will receive a prize and also be entered in a drawing for a special prize at the conclusion of all the photography contests. The special grand prize is a sealed cassette of Third Day's independent album and the winner's choice of an art print from Jason's artwork at:
http://www.JasonMitchener.com/artworkforsale.php


Rules:

1. Stating the obvious, but for the sake of having complete rules: Any photo you submit MUST have been taken by you and you alone.

2. You may only submit one photo. You may not submit a photo you have submitted in previous contests.

3. The subject of the photo must be what you consider inspirational.

4. No concert photos as this will be a later contest.

5. The photo must be under 100kb. If you need help with resizing, please send a private message to Jason.

6. You must e-mail your people photo to Jason at jason@jasonmitchener.com between Monday, August 18th, at 12:01 AM Eastern Standard Time and Tuesday, August 19th, at 9:59 pm Eastern Standard Time.

7. You must also send Jason a private message on the Third Day Message Board informing him that you sent a photo submission e-mail.

8. A poll will be posted with entries on Wednesday August 20th. The poll will end three days later.

9. The winner of the poll will win the Inspirational Photography Contest.

10. For fair play, please don’t contact your friends to vote for your photo. All entries will be posted in the poll without the photographer’s name. Let’s keep this contest based on great photos, not on photographers with lots of friends.

11. During the contest and for a couple days prior, any related photo threads in the Creative Arts Corner on the Third Day Message Board will be temporarily taken down to allow submission of previously posted photos without the public knowledge of the specific photographer.

12. Have fun!

Please direct any questions to Jason in this thread or by sending him a private message.

I'd love to enter, but I only have one shot that would qualify, and I entered that one last year.

So I'll just sit and watch from the sidelines this time and vote. :)

Hey, has anyone heard from Jason?

I thought he was going to post the inspirational photos yesterday (Weds. 8/20.)

I emailed my photo to him about 10 minutes before the deadline on Tues. evening, but never got a response,
AND he has not read the PM I sent him at that same time.

I'm a little concerned about him. I pray he is ok!

Praying for Jason, too. His absences always are a concern.

Also, I could use a BIG dose of inspiration right now... looking forward to seeing the photos submitted.

I apologize. I was in bed for two days. I'm waiting for one entrant to send me a larger version and then I'll put the poll up.

No need to apologize for that! Hope you're feeling alright, Jason.

Sorry to hear you were under the weather, Jason. Glad to see you are up & around now, & hopefully feeling better!

No apology needed. We work you like a dog, no wonder you needed a rest!

Was the poll ever put up? I can't find it.

I think he must be down and out again. I'm the one who needed to re-submit my picture larger, and he said he was posting the entries at 1pm yesterday, so to have it in before then. I sent it in around 10am and never saw or heard anything after that.

I hope you're feeling okay Jason!

I was in bed again. I got Jaxie's pic. I'll be posting the poll soon.
