Summary: "Passion For Photography: Professional Photographer Blog Contest Winners!"

I'm proud to announce the winners of my recent "Passion For Photography" blog writing contest. Making the final choices was very hard, with some really deserving entries, but I had to choose so here are the winners...

A couple of weeks ago, I issued a challenge to professional photographers everywhere to write a post on their blog about a recent photograph they’d created, describing what it means to them, and their telling the story of their passion for photography.

Announcing the winners of our recent "Passion For Photography" blog writing contest...

The Professional Photographer Blog Contest was designed as a test to see how many of you are willing to communicate what it really means to you to be a photographer, pouring your heart and soul into everything you create for your clients.

After reading all the wonderful entries, and making the very hard decision to choose the winners, the results are finally in…

And The Winners Are

1st Place – Sarah Linnea Tatom

Sarah wins a 3-month SEO coaching package from me, to work with her personally on improving her website’s performance in the search engines and social media. Congratulations, Sarah!

2nd Place – Rebecca Olsen

The 2nd prize was meant to be a full scholarship to my SEO Academy training course but, since this course is now included as part of the Zenologue Insiders membership program, Rebecca is going to receive 12 months free membership instead for even more value! This includes the SEO Academy training course, all of my eBooks, audio interviews, the forum, and all the members-only articles.

But Wait… What About The Others?

I was amazed by the quality of all the entries, and making the final decision was very tough indeed – it seemed to me that everyone deserved to win something for their great efforts.

So, surprise! A last-minute addition to the array of prizes is that the remaining entrants will each receive 1 month’s free membership to the Zenologue Insider program to help them further improve their business.

Congratulations and Well Done!

I want to thank everyone who took part for stepping up to the plate and entering the contest – you all did a great job indeed!

There’s a chance I might do something like this again in the future, so stay tuned, and be prepared…
