So today, I was feeling quite gutsy and decided that because this was going to by my year, I may as well enter for an award, no? I have entered into the Most Popular New Photographer category for Ottawa, Canada in the Wedding Industry Experts Awards :) This is a very well-known website to the wedding industry so I want to be someone who can send a clear message to future clients that I am proud of the level of service I deliver for every couple.
Voting starts May 1st, so I may be a bit of a bother making sure ya'll remember to vote for me ;)
Each year the Wedding Industry Experts Awards attract a vast array of world class wedding professionals and related businesses of all sizes, from across the globe. The awards are now the largest international popularity competition for Wedding Professionals worldwide and we are proud to be one of the participants.
My vote page shows my category, location and a description of my service. There is no judging panel. Past clients, peers and fans vote for their favourites. In previous years fans could vote more than once. This year they have limited it to one vote per email address for the duration of the month long voting period.
The voting process is simple….fans can cast one vote per email address at anytime during the voting period. They can log into the new awards system via a simple sign-up form, or with easy via their Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn accounts. The number of votes will not be shown on the awards site - just the rank from most votes to least (once voting commences).
Like I said, I am convinced this will be my breakout year and I hope I am worthy of The Most Popular New Photographer award for Ottawa. I hope you can make a quick visit to my voting page and spare a minute to cast a vote in my favour. I'll write another quick post as a reminder when the voting period starts :)
Thanks for everyone who has supported me to date. It's you who keeps my confidence up that this is what I am meant to do. xoxox
