Photo Contest Results Posted (1 Viewer)

Thanks to everyone who contributed an entry here. You guys made it impossible to judge.

Good stuff all around though. We could have a season's worth of "caption this" material...

:bowtie: Thanks Guys.

funny stuff! and lots of nice vacations taken this sumer.

the one that struck me funniest was actually "Chillin with Joe."

in photoshop, loved the t.o. one and tiger's baby. :lol:

it would be great to know screen names if anyone wants to claim their photo. :confused:
Miami CheerleadersBig JoeWax Lance at Tour de Franceand Black Eye of Londonwere my submissions. I'm the guy on the left w/ the cheerleaders (not that anyone will be looking at the guys in that pic).And I agree w/ Bri - nice to see the soldiers.
 
Some funny stuff in there.

I did the TO on the 50 in Dallas and a bunch of the other photoshops, but I laughed at several of the real photos and other photoshops too.

I've been making silly photo chops for years for my various FF leagues. Usually topical NFL junk, like Lendale White at KFC or Mike Tice scalping tickets. It was fun inserting the Footballguys logo in goofy places.

There were a few that did not make the cut, and I'll post links to 'em if it's OK with the big guys, Joe and David.

 
Entertaining to say the least. Hopefully if you do it again you'll require that the stickers be attached. I preferred many of the honorable mentions to the ones with someone taking a picture of their hand holding a sticker on vacation.

The Vegas photo...was that a balloon???

I think it's a coat hanger or something holding it up.FWIW, some of them people didn't want to risk arrest in attempt of sticking stickers on national monuments, etc.BTW, someone took theirs to Big Ben, and so did I. That's pretty crazy.
 
Nice to see the imagination and clever stuff from folks here.

That said, I don't like to see the photo shopped stuff winning a prize over less professional but fun and creative efforts WHEN the rules specifically said "no photoshopping or fake picks"

Perhaps next year just have a separate division for real and photoshopped.

It looks pretty large, not like a sticker...any way, cool idea.Understand about the arrest thing...I thought that was kind of a factor that would lead to creativity over vacation budget. Well the winner fit that criteria, I was just surprised we didn't see more "winners" along those lines.

Hi CH,We were super careful to stick to the rules. We actually awarded more money and prizes than we said we would as we had a tough time judging. Photo shopped entries were encouraged as a special category and we were clear that it couldn't win the first or second prize.

Special categories:

Famous person = $100

Best photoshopped (faked) entry (ineligible for 1st or 2nd Place) = $100

You've seen my suggestions/thoughts above. Regardless, it's pretty cool that you guys threw something like this out there that probably won't ever help the bottom line. My props to whoever came up with the idea.BnB

Hi BnB,It just hit me one day thinking about the guys that got into trouble with the prank they did where they put the box on the bridge and it shut down the highway that it would be a fun thing to do - but not get arrested.

I love the blackeyedjoe logo and always get comments on it when I wear a shirt. One of my kids is usually sporting one of the temporary tattoos. BEJ just makes people smile and I thought people would get into the contest. They did.

You're right in that it's one of those things you can never "justify" the cost of by looking at the bottom line. But I think it helps in other ways so that's cool.

J
