Free Wedding Photography Contest | Update

The wedding contest is moving along quite nicely, so we felt is was time for a wee update and roundup about what’s going on right now and how things are shaping up before the deadline on the 23rd.

Here’s one stat that’s catching our eye: 3 countries have entered so far! Of course Canada is one, but there are two couples with entries from the States (Texas and Californa – that’s making us drool because we’d love to go there) and Ã…land, which is an island between Finland and Swede (also drool-worthy!).

The international flavour is rad, and we’re all for it. Remember, the wedding photography is free but travel expenses must be covered, but we strongly encourage international applicants!

Next on the ‘we’ve noticed’ list is the couples who have clearly gotten their friends and families to enter. Good on you! The “Langer Wedding” jumps out as a couple who’ve got loads of entries on their behalf. Not a bad strategy.

Having people enter the contest for you (you as in a couple getting married) is brilliant and totally within the rules. If you have 1,000,000,0000 people you know who’ll Tweet the message and write the comment, go ahead. It increases your chances of winning and – as The “Langer Wedding” has displayed – gets more votes into the random draw.

So, we’ve got 3 countries represented, 13 couples and 39 entries so far. Not bad! The final number that is jumping out is the amount of time left until the deadline: The 23rd. We think that the numbers are going to jump quite a bit before the deadline, but we’re encouraging people to get going before the date closes in and get their entries up.

It’s going to be a great Christmas (or holiday) gift for one lucky couple, so give it a go and try to get your entries in ASAP!
