Photo Challenge - Holiday

image

The holidays mean a million different things to a million different people. We all celebrate the holidays in special ways that are either tradition we carry on or something we’ve added to the holiday that fits in with our family and lifestyle. But one thing we all share is the desire to commemorate our holiday’s traditions in pictures. So of course, we want to give you the best gift we know, a way to preserve and cherish your holiday memories!

So this week’s photo challenge is simple, “holiday”. Whatever that means to you. The Christmas tree, Your Menorah, a Kinara or Nativity Scene! Or maybe just your kids throwing snowballs in the yard! Submit your photo to us and we’ll choose two winners to each win an 11x14 Aluminyze Gift Card! Use it as a gift, to display your beautiful holiday memories, or Aluminyze that favorite photo you’ve meaning to Aluminyze for the last 6 months!

The first winner will be chosen at random and the second will be chosen based on the quality of their photo and will also be our Facebook cover photo for the rest of the month! See below for details on how to submit your photo. Happy Holidays!

Photo Challenge - Summertime

It’s time for us to kick back into gear our regular contests again and what better way than a photo prompt. As we roll through the month of August quickly begin approaching fall we find the kids headed back to school (if they haven’t returned already) and ourselves looking back over the summer wondering where it went.

That’s why this week’s photo prompt is as simple as can be, Summertime.

All you have to do is post a picture on our Facebook page of what summertime means to you. The fun thing about photo prompts is you can interpret whatever the prompt means to you. Just go through your favorite photos of the past few months and post the ones that screams “SUMMERTIME” to you.

On Friday we will pick one random winner to win a free 11x14 Aluminyzed photo (it does not have to be the photo you post for the contest)!

We will also choose one photo to be our new Facebook cover photo and that person will also win an 11x14! This means we reserve the right to the full size photo and the use of it to show off our Aluminyzed products (with credit of course). 

Rules:

One post per person please.

The photo must be yours.

OK, so lets see what you got and celebrate summertime!

Aluminyze Goes HollyWOOF!

Guess what? Aluminyze is excited to be taking part in a VERY cool Gift Bag for some of Hollywood’s A-List celebrities! Aluminyzed photos will be included in Distintive Asset’s 2012 HollyWOOF Gift Bag! Read the press release below for all the details! 

Hollywood’s Top Dogs Receiving Aluminyzed Photos of Their Favorite Pooches in the 2012 HollyWOOF Gift Bag

Los Angeles, CA –  Aluminyze, the brilliant new way to see and display your photos, is taking part in HollyWOOF 2012; the gift bag from Distinctive Assets, the premier celebrity gifting firm. The HollyWOOF bags are jam-packed full of the best, most inspired new pet products on the market today and will be given to some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrity dog owners, Tori Spelling, Alicia Silverstone, Miley Cyrus, Drew Barrymore, Gloria Estefan, Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Griffin, Katherine Heigl, Jennifer Aniston, Fergie, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, Chelsea Handler and more. Celebrities will be receiving an 11x14 Aluminyzed photo of their beloved pooch!

Aluminyze infuses your image right into the body of a lightweight but solid sheet of aluminum. The aluminum takes the place of the paper on a traditional photo making them much more durable, long-lasting plus it protects and keeps them from tearing and safe from water damage. Vibrant colors illuminate every detail adding depth and dimension to an otherwise flat surface.

Aluminyzed photos require no framing for a sophisticated look on walls, tables and hallways or anywhere you want to make an impression. Not only do the Aluminyzed photos last more than twice as long as paper photos, but they are also water and weather proof.

Aluminyzed photos are available in a variety of sizes and offers choices for both the surface and finish of your photo. Please visit http://aluminyze.com/ to learn more.

Father’s Day Contest

It’s hard to believe that June is almost upon us! With it comes not only the official start of summer but also Father’s Day! June 17th we celebrate all things dad and Aluminyze wants to help you give him something special this year.

So once a week for the next three weeks we will be picking a random winner to win TWO 8x10 Aluminyzed prints. One for you and one for dad. It can be a favorite picture of you and dad, your dads’ favorite car; place pet or any photograph you know means something to him.

All you have to do is post a picture of the person YOU celebrate on Father’s Day (we totally get sometimes we celebrate dad, sometimes Grandpa, or Uncle, and I know a few people who celebrate their mom who was both mom and dad while growing up. And that’s cool with us). Just post a picture and tell us what makes that person special to you. You can post it on our Facebook page or on your own page and Tag Aluminyze (otherwise we won’t see it). Remember, only one post per person please.

For the next two Mondays at 5PM (PST) we’ll choose a winner at random, giving you plenty of time to place your winning order before Father’s Day! So start posting

What better time than National Photo Month to take got through the photo library you have online or on your computer?

Find that favorite photo of that amazing vacation you took but now just sits collecting the occasional like on Facebook. Turn it into something special by Aluminyzing it and displaying it in your living room.
