Winners of the 2022 Photo Contest! 😀

Winners of the 2022 Photo Contest! :-D

Wendell · 2021-11-14T19:55:00Z

I'm pleased to announce the winners of SurveyorConnect's first-ever photo contest! ???? We had a total of 42 entries, and there were a few folks that submitted more than one. Unfortunately, quite a few of the entries were photos that are too small for print, so those were immediately weeded out. We were left with 24 solid entries. However, in the interest of fairness, some of the remaining photos were multiples from single parties, so we established a maximum of two winning photos for a single person. As you might imagine, this brought the eligible number of photos down significantly. Still, even with the reduced choices, it was hard to pick 12 photos to use for the calendar. They were all good, even the ones that were initially disqualified. When I started the contest and immediately began to receive entries, I knew that picking 12 was going to be a tough job. And indeed it was. Once the final 12 were selected, I then had the job of using the submitted data to determine each photo's title. I truly appreciate the submissions and many had very thorough descriptions, which helped me title them accordingly. I tried to keep them true to the title submitted, but some were very long and needed to be more brief. Then it was time to build the calendar. There was a lot of trial-and-error, since I've never built one before. I finally got through it and I really like how it came out. It is already online and available for purchase here. Ok, I'll quit stalling and get to the stuff you really want to know... the winners! I've also posted the results on the Photo Contest page. The Grand Prize winner is: Bill Hart (@bill93), with ??Barn near GSVS14 BM?, west of Cedar Rapids, Iowa USA ?ÿ The Honorable Mentions are as follows: Jitterboogie (@jitterboogie) with ??Almost too close for comfort? in Las Cruces, New Mexico USA Stacy Carroll (@stacy-carroll) with ??Incoming and outgoing? in Clark County, Georgia USA BushAxe (@bushaxe) with ??Warrior Creek? in Wilkesboro, North Carolina USA Ethan McGaughey (@ethanmcg) with ??3D modeling the Climax-War Memorial Bridge? in North Dakota and Minnesota USA Christof Lambrecht (@christ-lambrecht) with ??High-voltage project? in Huy, Wallonia, Belgium Jed Steelhead (@jed) with ??Searching for pins? in Pacific Coast Range, Oregon USA Brian Riniker (@briniker) with ??Returning from railroad survey? in Nora Springs, Iowa USA Mike Berry (@mike-berry) with ??Cascade Lakes Scenic Highway? in Deschutes County, Oregon USA You'll likely notice that there aren't 12 winners listed -- this is because we used two photos from 3 of them. We'll get the prizes out to the winners soon! I'll be following up with each of you to confirm mailing addresses. To learn more about the SurveyorConnect 2022 Wall Calendar, click here!

I'm not the worlds greatest draw-er, but I tried. I wanted to make a cat or a dog batting at PlumbBobs. 🙂 That's what it came out as on paper. ?????ÿ

Delivered right on time here in Belgium, even with some notes in dutch and the plumbbob-dog!
The Calendar looks really great with the pictures in sync with the different seasons and very nice sceneries.

A big thank you to Wendell & Angel for the goodies and this beautiful place.

A little early, but a merry Christmas to all from Belgium.

Same to you, our Belgian friend! So glad it got to you safely and I'm surprised it got there so fast! ????
