July 30, 2016 Oleg

Fellow friends! I’m proud to announce the first TFP photo contest in our group!

$730 worth of prizes!!!

We’ll be running this contest every month, so buckle up and get ready!

THIS MONTH’S THEME

Our first contest’s theme is FLOWER CROWN
Either a flower crown, flower hairpiece, or flower hair wraith must be present in your submission.

Although the flower crown is traditionally worn by females, your model’s gender will not be a constraint in this contest. In fact, a flower crown can be photographed on a table, in a landscape, or with whatever you please. Your submission does not require a model.

PRIZES! PRIZES!

If you think there will be one super-professional photograph that will sweep this contest and destroy any hope of winning, then don’t you worry! The prizes are as follows:

1st place: $440 worth of prizes
2nd place: $200 worth of prizes
3rd place: $90 worth of prizes

So, yes. There will be three winning submissions determined by the popular vote.

SUBMISSION RULES

Please read the rules carefully. If you are in violation of any of following guidelines, you may be disqualified.

To enter the contest, you will need to submit a photo to the DFW TFP Facebook group
Submit the photo with the following hashtag: #CROWN, or it will not count!
Submitted image should have at least 2000px on the long side
The photograph has to be taken DURING the contest period, not before
Please credit everyone who contributed to the project: the model, make up artist, hair stylist, costume designer, photographer, assistants, etc.
Full names please. The credits have to go WITH the photograph, not ON it
You can submit several entries, but only one photograph from a shoot, or per model.
We don’t want everyone submitting multiple literally identical photos.

So, if you are disqualified; it’s because you did not follow one of the rules!
