November Lenzr is for Building Supply Product Sponsors and Soya Boutique Natural Skin Care
Melani Chong is a Ford model, and mother of two boys. She owns a natural skin care company that is sponsoring a Lenzr photo contest called Water On Skin. The attraction requests users be creative and upload action shots of humans interacting with water. The web challenge ends on December 1st 2010 when the member that submitted what has become the highest ranked photo wins $500 worth of Soya Boutique products. Read more healthy details and learn about soy based cosmetics and Soya Boutique’s all-natural botanical cleansers on the Lenzr blog.
Lenzr Photo Contest Website Celebrates Twenty Five contests with five new offerings…
The Backyard Creatures photo contest, sponsored by a metal roof company asks photographers to submit images of animals trespassing in ‘your own backyard’. Don’t worry if it isn’t really your yard. Just snap pictures of squirrels, raccoons, birds… you get the idea. Remember Lenzr is 100% user driven which means the members upload the photos and pick the prize winners, completely independent of admin or any overriding authority. This is one of three contests where you could win an Apple iPad if your picture gets the most votes by December 1. Easy.
Concrete Ideas photo contest is perfect for urban dwellers. Snap artistic shots of concrete (buildings, pillars, statues, roads, etc.) and you’ll be eligible to win. This one is sponsored by a company that makes insulated concrete forms. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know what those are — just enter the contest!
Colourful Houses photo contest pretty much speaks for itself. Send in photos of bright properties for a chance to win a sexy iPad courtesy of a company that makes durable and long lasting PVC trim as a building alternative to less-sturdy wooden trim.
Lenzr sponsors give away Apple iPads because people with iPads are cool, right?
That’s the perception anyway; the cool factor is enormous. And even if that’s not entirely true, having an iPad certainly gives you an effective way to show off how cool you want to be by the stuff you read aloud, and show off to your friends and strangers in public. Like, imagine being that dude sitting in the local coffee shop drinking a fair trade Americano and reading Esquire on your iPad. Sexy, right? Or picture being that chick with her latte (heart-in-foam on top, of course) Twittering cultural insights on your iPad. Irresistable, no? The caveat? iPads are kind of pricey. The upside? Lenzr has five new photo contests running in October/November and THREE of them offer chances to win Apple iPads. Even complete doorknobs that are found laughing aloud while browsing in public on their iPads look cool. Their behavious solicits an emotional response from people sitting around them. You want some more good news? Tomorrow, on your Apple iPad, you’ll be able to enter for a chance to win even more iPads on Lenzr.
And don’t forget about the red electric snow blower!
The last contest on Lenzr in November, ends December 1st, is something special called Pets in Winter Coats. This challenge is collecting images of well loved animals proudly displaying man-made garments over top of the coats that God gave them. One of those cats, dogs and pet raccoons could be your own!
Upload your best pictures before the voting begins November 20th, 2010 and you could win the red electric snow blower seen opposite courtesy of a reliable snow removal company that services Ajax, Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa. This region of Ontario receives more precipitation than average because of their location in relation to Lake Ontario and the lake effect snow belt.
