Kolo Announces 'Love Your Photos' Photography Contest
Kolo announced their third annual photo contest. The theme of the contest is “Love Your Photos.” Contest organizers request that each participant submit one color or black-and-white photo that he or she believes “tells a story of his or her life.”
“Everyone has a special photo or two that tells a story and perfectly captures a moment — whether the subject matter is of great significance, or simply shows a small, yet meaningful slice of life,” says Heather Covault, Kolo spokesperson. “The contest theme is deliberately broad, because we want people to be creative. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the story is left to the viewer’s interpretation, which can be intriguing.”
The grand-prize winner will receive $500 cash and Kolo luxury photo albums, photo boxes and accessories worth $500 retail. Six second-place winners will receive $200 cash and Kolo products with a retail value of $100. One hundred runners-up will win Kolo products worth $100 retail.
