Nine Photo Contests on Lenzr in February

Lenzr introduces nine different contests for fun and edgy way to win some great products. Its for everyone, photography buffs and beginners. The new contests challenge and push contestants to engage with their surroundings. We might not think twice of a wall or bubbles but these new contests will make you see them in a new light.

On Stage at Home:

On Stage at Home is an exciting and interactive way to capture some fun. A number of memories are made at home, relaxing with your friends, having a couple of drinks, and talking about your day. Capture these moments and share them with Lenzr. Invite your closest friends to enjoy a night in with you. Play some charades, or rock band, and top of the evening with a great bottle of wine. This home stager contest focuses on group fun. Take pictures of your night and send them in to Lenzr for a chance to win an animal skin rug courtesy of a home staging company downtown Toronto.

Best patio in Canada:

We often hear arguments over The Best Patio in Canada. This contest is great because it gets you to share and help finally put an end to the debate. With all of us wishing for the summer to come faster, this contest soothes the pain of the cold outside. The idea is to send in pictures of your favorite patio in Canada. It can be from the time you were in Vancouver on a business trip, or the time you decide to relax in the hot heat on king St. after a day at the office. What is so special about this patio? Is it the scenery? The street? Or the special drinks? Send in a picture of your favorite patio and you can win a set of patio furniture courtesy of Velago Patio Furniture

Beautiful Factories:

Finding the beauty in a factory is not as hard as you imagine. Beautiful Factories can be found in different ways, it can be teamwork, efficiency or even machines working with manufacturing software. It is about finding a special unique side to your favorite factory. The prize for this contest is an Apple iPad courtesy of Solarsoft in Richmond Hill.

Unlikely Marriage:

This one is my favorite, Unlikely Marriage,it is a fun way to get your creative juices going and think outside the box. It is all about finding a unique marriage between opposite things. It can be a cat and dog, an elephant and mouse (if you can find two to stand next to each other) or serving only chicken at a vegetarian outing (an event planner’s nightmare). This contest also gets you a nice win, an Apple iPad courtesy of a marriage counselor office downtown Toronto.

People Dancing:

We all do this on the weekends, dancing is a way to relieve stress and relax. People Dancing can consist of what ever dance move you like. Anything will work for this contest. You don’t need to be a pro or take dancing classes. Anything goes, it can be the samba, tango or just a good ol’ night out. Take a picture of you dancing with your partner or with some friends. Send it in to Lenzr to get the chance to win 2 pairs of dancing shoes from a dance studio downtown Toronto. Soap Foam and Bubbles: You also need to think out side the box in order to win the Soap Foam and Bubbles contest. Next time you do the dishes don’t reach out to pop the bubbles, instead take pictures of them. It sounds simple, but it is actually insanely hard to catch a shot of a bubble, they have a very short life span. You need to play this one close to the beat. Prepping is key to win this. The idea is to capture your best image of a soap bubble. It can be you spending some time outside blowing bubbles for fun or cleaning the house and capturing the bubbling action in the process. The win is a Sony laptop courtesy of a rigid foam insulation company.

Up Against the Wall:

Up against the Wall is my second favorite contest out of the nine. I think it’s a lot of fun because I find beauty in vintage and old images. It is wonderful to think about the history behind a building or home. This contest asks contestants to take pictures of things up against walls with character. It can be the cracks, bricks or color that sets your picture apart from others. The wall acts as an accessory to your image. You can use it as a contrast or to blend in the image you use against it. You get the chance to win a Sony laptop courtesy of a company that specializes in wall systems in Toronto.

Reflections in Pools:

This is again one of those contests that will ease the winter blues. The contest Reflections in pools, help calm the mood and relax the muscles. You need to take a picture of a reflection in a pool of water, it can be of whatever you’d like. Swimming pools need to make up the body of water. It can be a ripple or people enjoying a swim. You can win an Olympus 8800 underwater camera courtesy of a landscaping company in Toronto.

Making Green Power:

Last but not least is Making Green Power Photo Contest. This contest is all about how far we as humans have come to making green power. With programs such as the Ontario MicroFIT, we are making strides towards making our energy more environmentally friendly. Take pictures of how far we have come. It can be of windmills, waterwheels or solar panels. Be creative and show Lenzr and their judges your image. it can be improvements you have made towards your carbon footprint. The prize for your participation is a portable solar kit. After using it for a couple of weeks, it will be hard to live without. Even though the contests have already started, voting doesn’t begin until march 15th. You still have time to submit and think up ideas for your win. Open to all Canadians (excluding residents of Quebec) 13 years of age or older.
