WHOOP-DE-DOO Part 3 with a twist...and the WINNER from Part 2

The blog is officially one year old!

Due to a slight scheduling conflict I didn't post the winner from last week's round of the WHOOP-DE-DOO competition yesterday as planned. Sorry everyone! 

The winner is EMMA!

Emma says: 

"Have had a most enjoyable time browsing through your photos (whilst at   work...) You have a wonderful way of looking at the world! My favourite from what I have seen so far is probably http://katherineleedale.blogspot.com/2011/10/autumn-and-competition.html. I also really like http://katherineleedale.blogspot.com/2011/02/incredibly-small-and-impossibly-cute.html as a trio of pictures, but don't think I could chose just one of them on its own! Happy blog birthday!"

Thank you for your comment Emma, I'll be in touch shortly about which of the images you want to claim as your prize!

For this week's final round of the competition, the format stays the same - but with a twist. The winning commenter will not only receive the print of their choice but will also get to commission an entirely new image! WOW! 

The winner can provide me with a brief - which can be as specific or as vague as you like - and you'll receive a second 8x12in print with the commissioned image alongside your choice of print from the blog. 

As with last week, here's the instructions; just add a comment to this post with a link to your favourite image from the blog and the reason why. For those who can't or don't want to comment here just email your choice to katherineleedale [at] yahoo.com. This will not affect your chances of winning. 

WHOOP-DE-DOO Part Two and the WINNER from Part One

It's nearly BlogBirthday...

And what a terrific reception the first round of the WHOOP-DE-DOO competition has had! 

Thanks to those who commented. I am pleased to say that commenter Vera Chok is the winner! 

Vera says:

Such a fan. Impossible to choose my favourite, but here is one that is topical for me http://katherineleedale.blogspot.com/2011/08/circus.html

Thanks Vera! I'll be in touch very soon to get details as to where to send the prize and so on.

To enter this week's round, once again please just leave a comment on this post. A random winner will be chosen next week and there'll be an exciting secret additional prize in the third week! 

Now, unfortunately I have heard that some people who wanted to enter were not able to leave a comment on the blog for whatever reason. I'm really sorry about this, folks.

If you want to enter but don't want to or can't leave a comment JUST EMAIL YOUR COMMENT to katherineleedale [at] yahoo.com and I will post on your behalf!

nb. This will not affect your chances of winning.

A Blog Birthday and The Competition!

Well, well, well ladies and jellyspoons, this here blog has been open for business for nearly one entire year. The anniversary proper is on 21st November; all that way back in 2010 I kicked off with two posts in one day (ker-azzzeee, right?). So in the weeks leading up to that momentous date, you'll have not one, not two, but three chances to WIN an 8x12in print of your choice from any of the images posted on the site. 

Wow. I mean, wow. 

All you'll have to do to be in with a chance is to comment on one of the special WHOOP DE DOO posts going up on the 7th, 14th, and 21st November, and leave a comment telling me your favourite image from any of those posted herein. Have a browse around - you'll find work and personal, 'straight' and 'doctored' images, paper cut-outs, collages, street and studio and seaside shots. Which is your favourite?

That's right! That's all! I'll then choose a comment from each post at random and that person will receive the print of their heart's desire signed and dated by me.


Thanks so much for viewing. Any other comments on my work are, of course, gratefully received.
