WOW! I am in complete shock. I submitted one of my photos of my MINI to a Monthly photo contest that I found through Google. I did this like two months ago, and kind of forgot about it. Well...yesterday, a big package came in the mail, and I found out I got first place for the month of October! Along with it was a $500 check!
Now I have to decide what camera gear to buy with the money...or maybe I should try and save it for once .
Congratulations. I remember seeing it earlier. That's really cool.

Then yes, but save some for more contests. BTW, what was the big package? was it part of the prize?
Actually...it was more a big envelope, rather than a package.
But, on top of the $500, I also won a $30 gift certificate from www.redriverpaper.com as well an iCorrect Potrat Photoshop Plugin ($99.95 value) from www.pictocolor.com .
way to go dude!
some wicked competition entries there too
makes 1st price taste that bit better
No kidding! In my opinion, A lot of th pictures in the Top 10 are A LOT better then mine. Maybe the judges drive a MINI or something .

That $500 could be a nice down payment on a carl zeiss lens...what type of camera did you use?
Thanks! I used a Canon Digital RebelXT with Canon Ultrasonic 28-135mm lens.
As a student...I have been thinking a lot about how I am spending my money lately, and I decided to just put the majority of the money in savings. Maybe help me pay for a house, or something when I am older .
