The time has come for yet another giveaway on Little Girl Big Closet. Only, unlike previous giveaways, this one will have not one, but three winners! That's right, up for grabs are
1 Anthropologie Gift Card for $50
and
2 Anthropologie Gift Cards for $25 each
Sound interesting? Read on to find out how it's going to work. To enter, you must:
Here's where it gets interesting. On my first giveaway of 2011, many of you said you had resolved to improve your photography in 2011, but I have a sneaky suspicion that most people have not kept this promise to themselves. So, to give you a little incentive- a nudge in the right direction, if you will- I have come up with a reader challenge:
Sound interesting? Read on to find out how it's going to work. To enter, you must:
(1) be a public follower of this blog.

(3) for one extra entry, you can blog or tweet about this giveaway, and let me know that you have done so.
Here's where it gets interesting. On my first giveaway of 2011, many of you said you had resolved to improve your photography in 2011, but I have a sneaky suspicion that most people have not kept this promise to themselves. So, to give you a little incentive- a nudge in the right direction, if you will- I have come up with a reader challenge:
If you haven't already read my 5-part photo tutorial, go do it right now! It's very basic and easy to follow. Then, implement what you learn, to create a photograph around the theme "Portrait of a Woman" It can be a self-portrait, or a picture of your UPS delivery lady. It can be a head-and-shoulders shot, or a full-length photograph. It can be realistic or fantastical. You may use a DSLR, or a point and shoot (no cellphone pictures please.) The only rules are that you must use the tips provided in the tutorial to create your entry, and the photo must, must, must be your original property. Please email your photo entry, along with the ID you use to follow, to littlegirlbigcloset@gmail.com.
You get 5 extra entries towards winning the giveaway, for participating in the reader challenge.
The most beautiful entries will be showcased here on this blog, with due credit to the budding photographers who created them. The purpose of this challenge is to encourage readers to crawl out of their comfort zone, push themselves to maybe learn and implement a new set of skills, and have some fun in the process. This is not a photo contest. The winner of the gift cards will not be picked based on how good your photograph is, but submitting a photograph makes you six times likelier to win a prize, which is a great incentive. I must also add, that only those photographs that follow the guidelines provided here, will get counted as entries towards the giveaway.
The giveaway and the photo challenge will end midnight, March 20, and three winners will be picked by a random integer generator. Any questions regarding this giveaway and/or challenge must be sent to my email address, and not asked in the comment section.
Please read all the rules before leaving a comment. Comments left anonymously or without using a verifiable ID will be deleted at once, to keep the giveaway fair for genuine reader entries.
----This contest in now closed----
