ALL ENTRIES ARE LOCATED ON THE SLIDESHOW IN THE CENTER COLUMN AT THE BAMBOO TEAHOUSE

The PEOPLES CHOICE POLL BROUGHT IN 105 VOTES FOR THE CONTESTANTS!!!

BEST IN SHOW

I had initially planned on awarding more prizes and Awards of Merit….. but, with only 8 participants (totalling 25 entries) I decided to go with the limited edition greeting cards instead for all the participants. All the images were so wonderful and as much as I studied and stressed over which one was going to get Best in Show….. I still look back at them thinking…OHHHHHHH this one, or that one… would have made a beautiful piece of art!!! You may be hearing from me at a later date!!!!

The love and passion you all have for this breed and your dogs was very apparent in each and every image you entered in the contest , and the photos brought a big smile to my face every time I looked through them. The bond we have with our chows cannot be described easily with words , but a photo cannot lie!

PEOPLES CHOICE

I have another photo contest in the works which will have broader theme so hopefully we will get even more entries. I would love to eventually get sponsored prizes but we will need more participation for that to be possible. I’ll let you know what I have up my sleeve as soon as I return from Egypt,Turkey,France in mid October
