Winner Announced and Activity Three Begins!

Hola! Yesterday we tallied the votes to judge a winner for Activity Two. 


It was a very competitive round. Several photos were closely vying for first place in Penny's mind: particularly #4, #8, #9, #13, #21, and #25. Only one photo can win though... so it was a tough decision.

After much deliberation....... 

Photo Number Thirteen was chosen as the winner of Activity Two!

Congratulations Lea!



Now this means that the owner of "Photo Number Thirteen" cannot win any of the other Activities, but can still enter photos in them if she wants.


And of course, if she wants a chance to win the doll, she'll have to enter the "Final Round."

For everyone who didn't win -- Keep entering the other 2 Activities and you might make it to the "Final Round" as well!

Since Activity Two is officially completed, Activity Three begins today. Yay!


Activity Three: Fashion is Fabulous!

Here is your opportunity to pretend you are a fashion photographer. Use your "star" doll as a fashion model. She can be in a fashion photo shoot, or on the runway, or even on a magazine cover, catalog page, or advertisement (you can obviously add text and stuff for that idea). Or something even more creative beyond our suggestions-- whatever you can think of that says "fashion." Be creative! The "fashion" being featured can be accessories, or clothing, etc. -- and it can be handmade or AG or whatevs.

Email us the photo at nora.demington@gmail.com. And include some info about your ideas for the photo. Due Date: Tuesday, June 28th, 2011, about a week from today.

Then a week of voting will commence, Penny chooses a winner from the top 20%, and that person will be entered in the "Final Round." (Same schtick as for Activity One and Two.)


If you didn't enter Activity One and/or Two, you can still enter any of the other Activities. Be sure to pick a "star doll" that you want to use in all subsequent Activities to use for Activity Three. We want consistency so people can recognize who they are voting for from one week to the next. Your "star doll" does not have to be an AG.

Things to Keep in Mind:

Using Photoshop and other photo editing programs is fine.

You can include more than one doll in your photos, but your "star" doll should be in all of the ones you enter.

If you win one activity, you can still enter the other activities and get votes -- but each person who enters can only win one activity -- that way we have 4 different people in the Final Round.

If you miss an activity, that is fine -- you don't have to participate in all four activities to be in the contest -- but doing all 4 does increase your chances of getting into the Final Round.

No human faces in the photos please -- remember: privacy is important! Hands are okay -- but no actually identifiable people.

Our email address is nora.demington@gmail.com. You will be using this to send in photos and to vote.

If you are younger than 13 have your parent/guardian email the photos to us (remember: internet safety is important!).

We will be posting the photos here at The Doll Wardrobe - so make sure your photo is something that you don't mind if the whole world sees it. (Again, this is why you and/or your family shouldn't be in the photo.)

Readers will be asked to vote for their favorite photo. Voting will be done by email -- to vote you just email me at nora.demington@gmail.com and say something like "I vote for photo #8." Everyone will have a week to vote, from the point when we post the photos.

The Doll Wardrobe does not share or sell your email to anyone. Only Penny sees your emails.

At the end of the contest we will email the winners for her/his shipping address. (This is why it is important you have a parent/guardian's permission to enter if you are under 18).

Any questions? Feel free to ask! :-D

And remember, if you want to participate in this contest, 
the Activity Three photo is due Tuesday, June 28th!

Please email your photos to nora.demington@gmail.com.
Good luck everyone!

Can i make a photoshoot and post it as a video response?

Nora and Maple said...

Anonymous - You mean make a photoshoot and a Youtube video out of it and then post it as a response to our video?

Sure, go ahead. We will then post it in with the rest of the photos for people to watch and vote on. :-)

How exactly do you guys choose a winner and what key factors are you looking for in a photo?

Nora and Maple said...

We take the photos with the top 20% of votes (photos who get the most votes) and then we judge them based on the quality of the photo, how creative it is, attention to detail, and particularly how much it corresponds to the "theme" or "idea" of the Activity.

Several photos tend to meet these qualifications very well, so in the end the judgment is subjective.

Can you only enter once per activity?

Nora and Maple said...

Yes, only one entry per person per activity please.

Alexis said...

Do you have to add a story in the caption? Does this increase your chance of winning?

Nora and Maple said...

Nope, your caption doesn't have to be a story. Just an explanation of the picture. People do seem to get more votes when there is an explanation of the picture, but that's not always true of every pic. Hope this helps!
