It’s time to begin our monthly Photo a Day Challenge! Whether you’re new or returning, welcome to our January Photo a Day Challenge!
Did you play along with us before or are you a photo-a-day newbie? If you’re a regular photo-a-day’er or if this is your first challenge we welcome you to join us and jump right in! This is all for fun so if you skip a day or two or ten you can make them up later or just forget about them. There is absolutely no pressure! Really. This is just a fun way to slow down and focus on the beauty in life. Every day moments in life are beautiful!
Each month I enjoy looking at all of your fun pictures and get to know some of you better. Ya’ll are getting really creative with your photos and I just love it! I try and make my way around and comment or like everyone’s pictures every day or so but this group is getting too big so please don’t be offended if I miss yours. Also, if you participate, take just a moment and try to encourage another fellow photo-a-day’er by commenting or liking their photo. I’m sure they would appreciate a follow too!
How to participate:
All it takes to join in is to simply take a photo and post it on a social media site with the hashtag #EmbracingBeauty. I’m using Instagram and sometimes I’ll post them on Twitter and Facebook too. When you tag your photos with the #EmbracingBeauty hashtag they’ll join the list of photos under the #EmbracingBeauty hashtag (Facebook now allows hashtags so don’t forget to tag the photos you post on there too!).
If you’re stuck on a day and can’t think of a picture to do for it you can email me and ask me if I have any ideas or take a look at the pictures of others who are participating. I’m always amazed at how the same word can mean so many different things to different people; it’s great! To see the photos of everyone who is playing along simply click on the “#EmbracingBeauty” on your given site. This is so much fun!!
What’s new this month? A Contest!
One winner will be awarded a $10 Amazon gift card each week for the most creative/best looking photo. This is just meant to add a little fun to the challenge! The winner will be chosen from a panel of unbiased friends of mine. I’ll contact the winner via one of the means they entered the contest {Instagram, Twitter, Google+, or Facebook} and they’ll have three days to reply with their email address in order to claim their prize. If a prize goes unclaimed, a second winner won’t be chosen.
Because of this new weekly contest, I need permission to share the winner’s post on my blog and possibly social media outlets so if you use the hashtag #EmbracingBeauty please know that this is a possibility. On the bright side, you’ll get $10 for allowing me to share your winning photo.
{I’m likely going to have a baby this month so please forgive me if there is a week or two without a winner announced. I promise I’ll make sure to go back and award those prizes!}
Good luck!
Who’s ready to join me?
