Contest: Win Photoshop CS5 and MCP Photoshop Actions
What does MCP Actions mean to you? This is your chance to use your creativity, photographic skills, and thinking cap to win Photoshop CS5 Extended ($999 value) or a $50 or $100 Gift Certificate for Photoshop actions from MCP. These are two independent contests running at the same time. Enter one or both. To qualify for either prize you must join or be a member of my Facebook Fan Page.
Contest 1:
Enter to Win a $50 or $100 Gift Certificate to MCP Actions Store:
- For one entry, comment on this blog post and let me know what you would buy if you won one of the gift certificates.
- For a second entry on this contest, use the “Suggest to Friends” link on my Facebook Page and recommend MCP to at least 5 photographer friends. In addition, I would love you to post a link to my Facebook Fan Page and my website on your own wall or blog. Once complete, come back here and leave a comment saying, “I am a member of your fan page and recommended you to my photographer friends.”
Contest 2:
Enter to Win Photoshop CS5 Extended:
- Photograph and edit an image that conveys what MCP Actions means to you. You can express what you love about my workshops, actions, blog, etc.
- Use the name “MCP” creatively in your photo. Just typing it in will not usually win your brownie points. Think “outside the box” on ways to integrate it. You can use the MCP solo or in a phrase like “MCP Rocks” or “I love MCP.” Basically any phrase that fits your theme and image with “MCP” in it counts. Feel free to use my logo if you desire.
- Use at least one MCP action in the editing of your photo. If you do not own any MCP actions yet, you can always download FREE photoshop actions so that you can participate. If you do not own Photoshop CS5 yet, make sure to download a 30-day trial of CS5.
- Next, submit your entry by attaching it to this blog post as a 600px wide resized and sharpened for web image. One Photo Entry per person. Please retain your high resolution image in case I need that for the future. Include the phrase “I, _________, give MCP Actions permission to use this photo on the MCP Blog, MCP Website, and in MCP Actions promotional materials. I certify that I photographed and retain copyright to the photo submitted.” Entries that do not meet these qualifications will not be eligible.
- Lastly, please post the image you photographed and edited to your Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and/or Blog and write that you entered the MCP Actions (http://mcpactions.com/blog) photo contest to win Photoshop CS5 Extended and actions from MCP. #5 is optional but will be used in case of a tie breaker.
Judging:
- Contest begins today. Contest entries must be submitted by July 18th at noon eastern time, directly to this post, not Facebook. Ellie and Jenna, my 8 year old twins, will pick their favorite 10-15. Remember they are your 1st judges.
- Once narrowed down, I will post the finalists on the blog and voting will begin. On that post I will announce the final date/time for votes and for announcing all 3 winners.
Prizes:
- GRAND PRIZE: The entry with the top number of votes will get Photoshop CS5 Extended.
- 1st Prize: Random draw from the comment section of a lucky person to win the $100 Gift Certificate to MCP Actions.
- 2nd Prize: Random draw from the comment section of a lucky person to win the $50 Gift Certificate to MCP Actions.
*Cart must exceed final prize value by at least .01. Prizes are good for MCP Photoshop actions only. Not valid on MCP workshops.

When I first started to learn how to use Photoshop and to take a picture properly, I was completely overwhelmed and LOST! But then I found MCPACTIONS.com and your blog and have started to find my way around the big scary world of digital photography. Thank you for all you do, you are a true genius!!

Hmm I would love any of your action sets, but I think I would get Bag of Tricks if I won
I would have to get the Complete Workflow set. I am limited in choices to PSE but I would love to have them all!

I just finished reading your ‘over-editing in photoshop’ feature and stumbled across this contest! There are perks to being at home on a Saturday night after all! Love your actions and templates – it would be a hard choice but at this stage I would have to say ‘Bag of Tricks’ – so versatile and so sweet! Great comp – thanks!

There are so many great actions to choose from, I’m not sure what I’d buy. Most definitely a sharpening actions, but narrowing it down after that is hard!!
I suggested your actions to my facebook friends, and am heading over now to post a link on my blog.
I would love to buy your bag of tricks….your blog and your actions are amazing!
I’d pick “All in the details”!
I would have to say that I would order the Bag of Tricks. Then I would have something to be able to reach into for that perfect look.
I would love to get the Bag of Tricks actions if I won a gift certificate!
I would be so tempted to spend the money on your amazing actions, but I think I would need to be smart and do the Beginner Bootcamp, there are just too many holes in my PS knowledge and I need HELP!

I own a big chunk of your actions, so I would probably get some of the blog-it boards actions.
I am a member of your fan page & sent out 8 suggestions to my photog friends.
I would first buy the Complete Workflow, I have no actions at this time and feel this would be the place to start.
I would get All in the Details and Bag of Tricks with the prize because I have seen beautiful results from them!!
If I were to win I would get the Bag o’ Tricks and Eye Dr. I’ve read so many good things about those two.
I think I’d get the Complete Workflow–so many helpful actions in one set!
Wow, if I won a gift certificate I would probably start with “All in the Details” and “Coloring Book/Color Magic.” I’m just getting started with using Photoshop and actions so winning some would be awesome!

Hi Jodi,
I love the photoshoots you have done with your twins and look forward to seeing their sweet faces on your blogs! I love kids! I am a mom who has a birthday on Saturday, July 17th! I grew up in the 60′s and 70′s so you can imagine I fell in love with your “Frosted Vintage Memories Set”. I have so few photos of my own mom who left this world to be with Jesus when I was only 15. I value these old photos and would so love to create vintage looks in my own photography with your set. I also like the complete workflow photoshop and tell a story board.
Thanks Jodi for offering us this opporunity!
Blessings!
If I win I will buy the Quickie Collection. I use Mocha Madness in my editing in every session I shoot. Love all your actions!
If I won a gift certificate, I’d buy your Complete Workflow actions for PSE!
Thanks for all the great chances to win!
I’d get Bag of Tricks!
I;m a fan and suggested to photog friends
There are too many products to want to narrow it down to one…but I’d probably choose the Bag of Tricks or Complete Workflow Action sets.
“I, Amanda Roberts, give MCP Actions permission to use this photo on the MCP Blog, MCP Website, and in MCP Actions promotional materials. I certify that I photographed and retain copyright to the photo submitted.”
If i won one of the gift certificates (which would be SOOOOOO awesome!!) I would purchase the skin retouch set. I am amazed by its effects that I’ve seen when used by my photographer friend!! I believe in helping people look their very best so that they feel good about themselves and confident in showing off their pictures! What incredible products and resources you offer! Thank you!
If I won the gift certificate I would probably start with the Complete Workflow or one of the Magic Blog it/print it sets. I love all your stuff though so I’m sure I would struggle with what to get first!!!! (But hey, I’m up for the struggle!!!) I am a member of your fan page and recommended you to my photographer friends.
Awesome giveaway! I’d buy the Complete Workflow Actions.
First off your page looks amazing and thank you for sharing the talents an awesome work flow means happiness for me and less time spent!… and to answer the question about which action set I would choose If I won a gift certificate to the actions store would have the be “All in the Details” I find it to be fresh and colorful and lively. This is an action set that could be used in most photos that would make for amazing editing and would be a great collection to have.
I would LOVE to add “Bag of Tricks” to my bag of MCP tricks! xoxo

the GC purchase is a no brainer! with the $50, that would go towards “Amazing Faces” and the $100 towards “Ultimate Faces” (also, i just submitted the referral and wanted to make sure you know i suggested those 10 friends ^_^;
I would purchase the action set ‘all in the details’ because pioneerwoman raves about that particular action set all the time on her blog. And I may consider buying the ‘bag of tricks’ action set as well.
