The CoffeeCup contest is winding down, but I have extended the submission deadline to this Monday May 3rd.  There has been some very creative submissions so far!

Just to note – to get your photos in, with a little over 100 photos everyone has a great chance of placing in one of the 6 positions.  Also for the popular vote your photos have to have at least 10 votes to qualify for 1st,2nd,3rd place.

To all members be sure to go over to the contest and view the photos and make your votes! Start viewing photos HERE!

If you are having trouble submitting photos please email me directly at admin@thirstyphoto.com , I will submit the photos by hand. Some folks are still having login issues and I cant figure out the exact problem yet.

First place prize for both the Judges selection and the Popular Vote for this contest is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.  For 2nd and 3rd place for both categories the prize will be Adobe Photosop Elements 8. You can view the prize distributions for this contest here –> http://apps.facebook.com/thirstyphoto/contests/prizes.php?itemId=14610.

The “Coffee Cup” contest is now open for submissions.  This is the first contest with a theme based on a subject – which means you may have to dig through your photos, or better yet create a brand new photo for this contest that contains a coffee cup, or generally coffee in the shot.  We generally get about two to three hundred submissions in our contests, though I expect this one to be low volume so the quota for members is raised to 5 from our typical 3 for most contests.

Prizes?

[UPDATE 04/09] Prizes are listed here –> http://thirstyphoto.com/blog/?p=1215

Yes!  There will be prizes for the top three photos in two categories : the Judges selection, and Popular Vote.  Prizes have not been chosen yet so stay tuned for a post later next week on what prizes we are offering.  Since the introduction of the rating system for our photos in the Facebook App, all votes on your submissions count toward the Popular Vote – so the sooner you submit , the longer you have to get votes.  Keep in mind you can place once per contest!

How do I submit a photo?
