2011/2012 Expose Yourself Photo and Video Comp Winners

The Expose Yourself Photo and Video Comp is now closed for this year—thanks to all those who entered. Stay tuned for future comps or a re-run of this one down the road.


Ta Da. And The Winners Are…:

Oy vey. We thought our "heat" format would make choosing winners a little easier. Thanks to a whack of totally excellent entries, this was not the case. And that's good. Congratulations to our winners and, to all others, keep posting! To those lurking and not-yet-posting, get on it and show us all what cha got. 

Hints: Make certain to follow the rules and regs you'll find here. We had to eliminate some submissions because they neglected things like our 100-word minimum. Also, remember that we are looking for the quality of the overall submission. Some people got bumped out because, for example, although they had a great picture, their story wasn’t that good.
