I made it to a semi-finalist in a contest

[hershy314]

Just got an email today saying that I am a semi-finalist in a contest with Chyrsler and John Varvatos. Now on to phase 2 of the contest. I'm not 100% sure what I have to do now, I'm still going over the information. I really don't expect to go much further or even win the grand prize. Just thought I would share cause I honestly did not think I would even make it this far.

Congratulations, it is a nice feeling when something like this happens whether you win it or not - you had a go.

[hershy314]

Thanks, it is a nice feeling. I hope I can come up with some thing new for the contest in the next few days, then spend a few days making that design perfect.

[Paul]

Care to share the images or are they only for that contest?

[hershy314]

I think I can share, but I wont really know...I'm going to print out the rules and such later and go over them. If I can share I will, but I want to make sure that I wont get in trouble first. Oh btw being a semi-finalist I won $1,000 (I think). Just gotta fill out a couple papers and such. Shouldn't be too hard.

This is what I submitted in round 1

Very moody image, the sides needed to be softened too, in my opinion.

Congratulations Hershy. I hope you go all the way!

[hershy314]

Well that image got me this far, but I will take your advice Paul. And Thanks Clare. I dunno if I want to go all the way honestly. The grand prize is attending a benefit thing in L.A, Ca. Not sure what it is, but something tells me I'd have to ware a suit. I don't do suits.

Congratulations on getting that far buddy....

As Paul said, it's certainly a feel-good factor to be noticed for your work. I hope you do win but even if you don't, you can hold your head up proudly.

Btw, what is the grand prize?
