THE CHALLENGE: 

Hello Everyone! I encourage all of you to participate in BACK TO SCHOOL MADNESS, a new photo assignment that is actually just a thinly-disguised opportunity for ONE Sison Photography Fan to win a FREE photo session + digital package  (<-- this is a good deal! Perfect for seniors, college, best friends, couples and families). As an avid photographer, I am constantly thinking of excuses to engage my community and photograph more people. The dawning of another school year is going to be that "excuse" for this month. 

YOU CAN THINK OF THIS NEW PHOTO ASSIGNMENT IN TWO WAYS:
1) as a fun opportunity to share what your Back to School experience is like, OR
2) as a fun opportunity to share what your Back to School experience is like AND win a free photo session + digital package with Sison Photography :)

TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE AND POST A PICTURE ON THE SISON PHOTOGRAPHY PAGE THAT:
1) has you in it. Friends, classmates, teachers are encouraged to jump in!
2) is related to being back in school. Some ideas: a picture of you in one of your classes, buying a textbook, eating lunch, getting lost on campus, joining a club, moving in to your dorm/apartment, etc.

TO ACTUALLY WIN A FREE PHOTO SESSION + DIGITAL PACKAGE, THE PHOTO YOU POST MUST: 
1) have more votes in the form of "Likes" and comments than any other photo posted on the SP Page. This means you should definitely share your entry on Facebook and bug everyone to "Like" and comment on your photo. It might also help if you posted your photo as early as possible since that will give everyone else the chance to "Like" and comment. 

The last day to post a Back to School Photo Fun entry is October 06, 2010 You have two weeks!
The last day to "Like" and/or comment on any entry is October 13, 2010. That's an extra week just for voting!


*Free photo session lasts up to 1.5 hours, a max of two other people in the picture with you, redeemable at any time, all with the bronze digital 

THE OUTCOME: 
This photo challenge has passed. Click here to see the photo entries. And here to see the winner!
