joyeux anniversaire – giveaway 6

Batter up… An awesome prize pack from my favorite canvas vendor – Pixel2Canvas (and their new offspring Wall Riders)!

Included is an 11×14 Metal -AND- your choice of a 20×24 Gallery Wrap Canvas OR a Wall Riders skate deck. (I reviewed the Metals and Wall Riders in the March 2011 issue of Professional Photographer Magazine.)

So how do you snag these great prizes for yourself? It’s easy!

ATTENTION: All links you post must direct to public-access accounts. We cannot verify links on private, friends & family only, or passworded accounts and they will not be eligible to win this item.

Comment(s) must be posted here by 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, July 22nd. You can enter up to four times total. Post that you have met both requirements in separate comments to have multiple chances to win!

You can enter / post up to four times total – one entry each for both the options listed above. (PLEASE NOTE: Comments are held for moderation and may not appear immediately. Please be patient! They will show up eventually.)
