Congratulations Deniz you belly danced your way to the third prize! I’m also currently waiting for the 4th prize winner (a randomly selected subscriber) to claim their prize. I’ll let you know when they do.

I personally enjoyed all of the pictures but would have liked to see Mara’s picture gain some more traction in the voting. I’ll be posting a recap and my post-contest thoughts next week, but I’d like to hear your opinions and comments on the results. Did your favorite picture make the top 3 or would you have liked to see more votes for Noura, Jessica, or Stina?

Thank you all for enriching us with you fantastic photos. I run several smaller contests throughout the year and two big ones biannually. The next ‘big’ contest will be announced in mid-April.

    @ Yasser:

    Every time I thought it was decided, one of you would catch back up again! I’m glad you were able to win one of the prizes :) (Don’t forget to respond to the email I sent you.)

    @ Priyank:

    Each contest is unpredictable, too bad everybody couldn’t win something.

    @ D:

    Anytime – thank you for letting me know about the error. Noura’s picture really had an adventurous quality – maybe next time she’ll pick up one of the prizes in my next contest!

    Congrats to the winners! Great contest.
