Ladies and Gentlemen, I know you have been waiting for this, these are the 2010 SLR Division Winners. A few notes:
I was hoping for more sponsors, but we didn’t get many this year (Uprinting.com was the only one, all other prizes are being furnished by myself). All Coupons are good for one year. There are a number of training DVDs, Downloads and Actions available, and something for everyone. Coupon has a one-time only use, so when you cash it in, make sure you use as much of it as possible. Coupons can also be saved for up to one year or used for a training workshop.
SLR Winners:
1st Place Winners: $200 Gift Code for Michael Andrew Online Store.
2nd Place Winners: $100 Gift Code for Michael Andrew Online Store
3rd Place WInners: $75 Gift Code for Michael Andrew Online Store
4th Place Winners: $50 Gift Code for Michael Andrew Online Store
5th Place Winners: 16×20 Canvas Print from Uprinting.com
Honorable Mention Winners and all other winners will receive an Award PDF Certificate.
– If you are a winner (ie- everyone on this page), please email us at Maven Contest so we can verify and speed up the award process. If you are ok with it, we would like to post some information about you, your studio or any details you would like to give about the shot you entered. We have been extremely careful to separate the photographers from the images and for the most part and we would all like to learn more about you, what you do etc. If we are unable to reach you, or you do not respond to us by Jan 15th 2011, your prize will be forfeited.

Mountain Train 🙂
Congrats to ALL the winners! It was almost impossible to pick an overall winner!!!
Fantastic job everyone, incredible talent, it was super hard to vote this last time…
Congrats to all the winners!
Everyone did such a great job!
Wow these are all amazing! My favorite is "Old Man" by far. He looks deep in thought.
Wow…all these images are so impressive!
Love the Old Man! The detail in that shot, lines and shades are superb!
Incredibly talented photographers. The old man really got my attention.
vote for overly bashful…it is the best of all, in my opinion!
I think the old man is the best picture. The contrast and look in his face is really astounding.
I hope this one wins!!
Wow, all very good finalists. Definitely were my picks for each division. I was so honoured to have made the top 7 in the portrait division…but my choice for winner in that division was definitely the Old Man….it is just so intense. Great contest Michael, and so many talented artists out there!!
Is the Jumping Wildbeast shot by Wayne Lynch? There is an entire spread on that in the recent edition of Photo News (Canadian Photography Magazine) Looks like he does quite the travelling 😀
The old man is my favorite image! so dramatic and love the tones!
