Photo Contest

I usually try to get a new header photo up around the solstice or equinox, but I am going to be a little late, this quarter, it looks like.

Okay, these are the rules:

-landscape format only
-photo must have been taken in Big Sur
-no more than 5 submissions per reader, each submitted separately in its own email to me at kwnovoa@mac.com
-MUST be submitted as a jpg attachment to an email. I can’t seem to organize them otherwise.
-Deadline for submissions: Friday, September 23rd at midnight.
-please include your name and town and title of photo, if you have one (if not, identify the place)

That weekend, I will choose the 10 best photos and by Monday the 26th, the photos will be up for reader voting, if the internet goddess allows. This contest is open to all, wherever you live, but the prize for the winner will be redeemable only here in Big Sur, so you’ll have to come back for another visit to claim it. A shame, isn’t it?

Have fun, and send me a few of your best!! Last winner, Bette Nelson, won a $50 gift certificate from River Inn and Alan Perlmutter, and had her photo featured for sale by Barbara Sparhawk of Hawk’s Perch in the Village Shopping Center, next to River Inn and the Pub. Dan Danbom won lunch for two from Lucia Lodge. The Fall 2011 contest prize is a $50 gift certificate from Nepenthe, courtesy of Kirk Gafill. Thank you Kirk and Nepenthe Corporation!
