Contests, Monkeys and Bears--Oh My!

Okay, so there are NO bears! But, there is a monkey...and it needs a name. So, in honor of my brand spanking new website, I am having a contest to NAME MY MONKEY. Okay...maybe that didn't come out right. Anyhoo...this guy:

...he needs a name. It's simple...send me your name suggestions. Here's the thing, you have to email me at my new email address dana@shortandsweetphotography.ca if you visit my new website at http://www.shortandsweetphotography.ca/ you can go directly to the contact form and fill that puppy out(or for our purposes here--fill that monkey out). Make sure to give me your name and contact info as well so that you can win one of the suwheeeet prizes. Well...I guess you can decide just how sweet they are...so the contest will be open for exactly one week. It will close at 8am Calgary time on January 25th. I will read all the entries and on January 26th by 9am Calgary time, I will post a 'poll' on my blog with my 3 favorites and then we will let the people decide. There will be exactly one week of poll taking. The polls will officially close at 9am on February 2nd. What's up for grabs? I mean BESIDES being the person who officially named my monkey?

1. First place winners will receive a gift certificate good for one session fee for their immediate family and one 10x20 plaque mounted storyboard. (a $230 value)


2. $75 gift certificate for Short and Sweet Photography


3. $50 gift certificate for Short and Sweet Photography
   

CONTEST RULES: you knew that there had to be some. First, if more than one person suggests the same name, the email with the earlier time stamp will lay claim to it. Second, you MUST and I mean MUST use my new email address for suggestions. Emails sent to any other address will not count. And, lastly, all gift certificates awarded will expire on December 31/2008.
I think that about covers it. Check below this post for new posts during the contest time as I want to keep this one at the top to encourage participation. Tell all your friends...and, keep in mind, I'll be doing sessions in Banff(March 15-16, 2008), Edmonton, and Saskatoon so this offer is not limited to Calgarians! I gotta say...I think this is a fun way to name any new baby and I encourage people to follow in my footsteps. Let the game begin!
