WIN A SHOOTSAC! Show us why you need a new camera bag ~ lens bag?
This may just be the most fun contests yet! MCP Actions Blog will be giving away ONE Shootsac Lens Bag with your choice of one fun, trendy cover. Your job is to use photography to “show us why you need a new camera/lens bag.” Jessica Claire herself will be picking the winner! And for those of you who do not have the time to enter or just need a shootsac or cover immediately, use the code “actions3109″ for 15% off – through March 1st.
How to enter:
- Send me your photo (resized to 900px wide) to jodi@mcpactions.com that shows why you need this lens camera bag.
- Please include the following phrase in your email – “I, (insert name) of (insert studio name and website if applicable), give MCP Actions and Shootsac full permission to use this photo on their website and/or blog.” Submissions sent without this line will not be included.
- Do a blog, flickr or facebook post showing what you entered – mention to others that they can enter here: http://mcpactions.com/blog/2009/02/10/shootsac.
- To qualify your submission, you must also add a note in the “comment” section with a link to your blog, flickr or facebook post showing your submission.
What is allowed:
- Use your imagination and photographic skills to convey why you are the most in need of a Brand New SHOOTSAC! Photos of people, places, animals, things, camera bags, lens bags, lack of a bag, photographers, etc.
- This photo must be taken specifically for this contest. No old photos please.
- Only ONE entry per person.
What is not allowed:
- No typing any words on your photo while editing (but words that are photographed into the photo are acceptable)
- Submissions need to be 900 pixel wide (resize to this please) – my free Crystal Clear Web Sharpening and Resize will even do it for you 
*** ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BY Wednesday, February 25th at Midnight Eastern Time. This gives you plenty of time to use your creativity! I will narrow down the top 10 entries. Jessica Claire and Shootsac will pick the winner from those 10 by the end of the month.

Oh, Ive had my eye on one forever, cant wait to get creative!!
is this valid to US only?
Also wondering.. can Canadians enter?
I could give you a U.S. shipping address…
I am waiting to hear back from Shootsac on this. They said yes to Canada. I am now waiting to hear about other places around the world. As soon as I hear back I will let everyone know.
Wow! Jessica looks all sassy in this photo! I love these and have been eyeing them forever!
yes please let us know, we never know who around the world can win!
LOL
I’m an ardent amateur, not a professional. Since I don’t have a blog or a website does this disqualify me? I already prepared my entry before I read all of these rules.
oh man, i’m so on this!
Well I submitted my photo. I hope I am doing this all correctly. And if not, I hope someone will let me know how to fix my mistakes. Anyways here is the link to my blog where I shared my photo and info on how others can enter. http://carribethphotography.blogspot.com/
I had a lot of fun doing this.
This looks great, but I’d like to hear about the international entries as well
Ok – here is what shootsac says about International Shipping for the winner:
“I can ship to any country but there are duties that must be paid upon receipt of the package that we cannot prepay or handle. It could be $30-$40 or more.”
So basically if you are willing to pay whatever the duties might be for your country once it gets there, you may enter. It sounds like there is no way for shootsac to pay these ahead – so you would need to cover that part.
Hope that helps,
Jodi

How exciting!
[...] I rarely post about any random contest I enter.. and truthfully I rarely enter any. But this is something I *NEED*. I’m hoping this storyboard will win me a shootsac camera bag for my new camera, that doesn’t fit into my old purse that was being used as a bag. LOL Wish me luck everyone! If you want to enter, just go here, follow the rules, and enter away: http://mcpactions.com/blog/2009/02/10/shootsac [...]

Not sure if this is the correct way, but here is my facebook link. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1650866523&ref=name#/profile.php?id=1650866523&ref=name&pub=2309869772. I’m still somewhat facebook illiterate.

Here is my entry. I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
I’m in love with my shootsac! I even bought one for the photographer who did my kid’s weddings a couple years ago because I knew he’d love it too.
Good luck to everyone in this contest. I will enjoy looking at the entries.
OK here is my entry. I posted a note on Facebook.
Hope this works.

I don’t often enter contests but thought this would be fun! To come up with something creative wasn’t easy, then there was setting up the shot, trying to get the right light, re-reading the instructions, and finally post processing in photoshop… easy… well maybe not but it was fun
