Weekly Contest Announcement!
Theme
- : OPEN SUBJECT (single subject – dog, cat or any other critter – person, place or thing!)
Deadline
- : Friday, August 7, 2009 (around 5pm CST)
To Enter
- : Leave a comment (your chances are greatly improved if you share something about your subject), include a link to your photo. If you do not have a photo uploaded online, please indicate that you are e-mailing the photo and e-mail the photo to: gallery *at* intricateart dot-com.
Your entry must be left below, or it will not be considered.
Note: *G* Rating only
Each Monday, I post the weekly Call for Entries along with the previous weeks completed portrait (above). I may change the subject theme each week, or leave the theme open, so please pay close attention to the details in each announcement.
Entries will be accepted through Friday afternoon around 5PM CST, at which time I will close comments and select one winner from the entries received. I’ll publish the completed winning portrait with the following week’s Giveaway announcement. If you’re a fan on Facebook, you might just get a sneak peek at the winning portrait before I publish it here!
Qualified entries will include a valid e-mail address, and the comment should include one link to a photograph owned/taken by the entrant. If you do not have a place to upload photos to link one, you can e-mail it to gallery *at* intricateart dot-com. Your entry, however, should be included in the comment section below, with your story – should you choose to include one.
The Selection Process: In case you’re curious, I’ll share my little artsy process in selecting the winner. First – I do not read any entries at all during the week. I do not read them because I don’t want anyone’s entries to have any more time than any others to settle in my creative brain. At the end of the week, I close comments. When I sit down to go through all of the entries, I read the story first, and open the photo link in a new window. When I finish reading, I flip over to the photo and my initial reaction is what I go by.
If your entry is not chosen, you may enter again. I encourage you to include a short story with your entry.
Once you have won a portrait, I ask that you refrain from multiple entries, to give others an opportunity to win one as well.
Your challenge? To inspire me! Choose your photo wisely – I will select a winner based on how the photo and/or story moves me.
Good luck!!

I just sent my entry in an email, titled My Photo Entry from the email I’m posting this comment with. It’s not an animal, which seems to keep winning but *fingers crossed* I’m hoping! lol
Thanks,
Lauren
Okay, I sent the photo to you but I want to share the story here:
The picture I have attached in my email (titled Little Jeff) is a picture of my older brother when he was little. He’s been through a lot in his life, but he just recently got married. I hope it works out because he deserves happiness and has been looking for the one for a very long time. He’ll be going away to the army soon, something he’s always wanted to do, but I think having a picture of him as a little kid would be comforting for his wife when he’s away, but it’ll be something he can enjoy and look back on when he’s around…I hope the future will be much more brighter for him. He deserves it, and I love him with all my heart.
Thanks so much for your entries this week! I’ll post the winning portrait on Monday with next week’s announcement. Become a fan on Facebook for a sneak peek on Sunday!
