Vote for your favorite Contest Entrant at Lighting Essentials

Well it’s that time. Time to choose the winners in our Summer contest: “Summer in My Town”. The assignment was to make between 6 and 8 images to show off what summer is like in your town. We had a lot of entrants, but not so many uploads. But we got some good ones, for sure.

Thanks to all who voted. Voting is closed.

Don Giannatti voted one of the Top 13 Workshop Instructors by Photo District News Readers PollVOTING: First – please only vote once. Please do not bleg votes on Facebook, but it is certainly cool to tell your friends and such about the contest. The voting will be tallied next weekend (Sunday) and the winner announced on Monday following. One week of voting.

The public online vote will count 40% toward the choice of a winner. My judges (professional designers, photographers and writers) will do judging as well. Their final tally will count 60%.
