PicMonkey Halloween Competition

I LOVE Halloween!  It’s always been one of my favorite holidays  – who doesn’t love to dress up!

If you are looking to get into the Halloween spirit – pun very much intended – how about bringing a little spooky editing to your images?  PicMonkey is a free online editing service which I also LOVE and they have a host of special effects, ghoulish edits and textures that you can apply easily to your photos to make them scary!

And to celebrate the season, PicMonkey are giving away 3 prizes of a year’s free subscription to their Royale premium service to the best edited photos in their Halloween Competition.

To enter :

Open your photo in PicMonkey, using the “Edit a photo” button at the top. Click on the Themes tab (the pumpkin icon at the bottom of the left column). Add all the overlays, textures, and effects you think will make your photo a winner!

When you’re finished with your masterpiece share it on one or more of the social sites  below, and be sure you use #PicMonkeyBOO to tag your photo or post.

  • Twitter
  • Facebook*
  • Pinterest
  • Instagram
  • Tumblr
  • Muzy

All photos must be created and shared before 11:59pm PST on October 22th, 2013. You must only use PicMonkey to edit your photo  and  use the hashtag #PicMonkeyBOO, so your entry will be seen!

Winners will be announced on October 28th, 2013.

What they are looking for:

The PicMonkey team are looking for the most creative Halloween pictures in three categories: scary,cute, and funny. There will be one winner in each category each winning a years free subscription to PicMonkey’s Royal features.

Awesome Travel Photography Competition for you to enter

Travel Photography is one of my great loves.  Ah…I remember the days before kiddos when I would wander the world in search of my next great adventure, always with camera in hand.  I especially loved shooting city scenes full of life and vibrancy and easily telling a story in a single frame

If YOU love to shoot city scenes of your travels or even your home city you should not miss out on this wonderful competition being sponsored by Millenium & Copthorne Hotels.  There are prizes of restaurant vouchers and weekends away and I am honored to be one of the judges 🙂

To take part in this competition, simply:

  1. Tweet the URL of your favourite city photographs that you have taken
  2. Include #CityView and @MillenniumEU so we can find them

End date: 31th October 2012
