This year I decided to submit for the 2008 IRIS photo contest held at the Riding the Wave Conference in San Diego, CA. I entered a few of the categories, but honestly, I don't redesign and I rarely do owner occupieds anymore.... I refer those to my team. I had a slight struggle deciding what photos to submit for the vacant home staging living room category (the only one that allowed vacant staging). I have this tendency to forget to take the before photos (shame on me) and then there is a problem of making sure they are the exact same angle (which was clearly stated on the entry form).
Finally I decided on a home I recently staged....
AND I WON!!!!! It is the first time that I have entered photos to this contest. It was very exciting!!! Unfortunately it will be the last time I'll be able to enter it. Now that I am an instructor we will not be allowed to submit our photos. That said, we have discussed adding a 'class project' to the contest, so now I'll be able to enter rooms that my students have done! That means that they will all have the opportunity to become award winners too!!
So.... for all of those of you who voted for me, THANK YOU!!!
