Shoot New York City 2021 Contest - Part 1
13 April 2022 - Part One - The Winners Announced (finally)
Part One of the 2021 SNYC Fave Photos Contest
So finally, the winners of the 2021 SNYC Fave Photos Contest are revealed. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest and to everyone who voted. This is part one. Unfortunately, I have to do this in parts again.
It takes courage to share your photography with others and especially with people that you don’t know. As well, so many contests are juried by judges and cost money to enter.
Social media is its own kind of contest. The winners, those with the most likes and/or followers are not in my mind the best. They just know how to work the system. Perhaps they are best at social media. That of course is another topic.
I’ve entered and paid to be part of too many contests. But this contest is a people’s choice contest. I didn’t enter or vote. You the readers decided.
Everyone has one thing in common, me. Either they have attended a workshop with me and/or they subscribe to the newsletter. The photos covered a diverse number of styles.
One thing that I could’ve done better was to create a number of categories beforehand instead of slotting entries into them after-the-fact. I will do this for the 2022 contest.
I created the contest as I thought it would be fun to do so. I had no idea what I was getting myself into as far as how to present the entries and I realize that not everyone was happy to receive so many emails so close together.
First off though, as always, Happy Shooting. The newsletter will return shortly.

Note
I’ll be sending out 1 or 2 more emails with the other winners. Depending on the length and I’ll also be sending out the newsletter soon.
Also, if you’re on iOS, you may want to get the Substack app. It’s a great way to read this and many other newsletters. The Android version is in development.
Congratulations to all of the contestants and winners.
