We are giving away a $2500 Adorama gift certificate to one lucky bp4u fan. If you haven't checked out the adorama store, you're missing out. Amazing store full of equipment goodies! We are so thankful to all of the support & fans of bp4u and wanted to help out one fan by giving them equipment!
We went to our facebook pages and started asking, ok... what equipment? Problem is, you have Canon people (woot, jk) ;) and then Nikon people. So what better way to get the equipment you want and need then give away a GINORMOUS gift card! We decided to make it that much sweeter, not only are we doing the gift card, we also joined together with some FAB vendors who are going to be giving away a CMD website & 6 months membership to Rock the Shot Forum. Did your mouth just drop? Hopefully it did!

I've been posting the last few weeks about how to get your business to the next level, posting other photographers tell all stories on Tuesdays. Well, it's not Tuesday but your Monday is going to start looking a lot better, once you see what we have in store for you! With this prize not only will you get new equipment, a new site and you'll be able to use the resources on Rock The Shot, to inspire and help get your business where it needs to be in 2012. SO FLIPPIN' PUMPED!
Here's a quick reminder of what all you'll get! :)

I think this giveaway would be huge for me, and also a lot of people, because I've been needed to upgrade my camera for years but it's just not an option I can make anytime soon with our financial struggles. This is a dream come true for so many people. :)

I don't actually have a business, but I am retired military. If I won this awesome giveaway I would use it to buy a new camera. I like to travel and it would be great to have a really good camera to take pictures of all the places that I visit. Thanks for having the giveaway!

This giveaway means a lot to me. I am just starting out in photography but would really love to get help through Rock The Shot, get the necessary gear from Adorama, and once I have all those lined up, the website to really showcase some work! I've been dreaming to learn more about photography for so long and this would leave me with no excuses!

My husband's plant closed in Sept. He had worked there for 32 years. Now being pretty much forced into retirement our income is 1/4 what it was. I believe the Lord has given me the talent to create photographic dreams. I so completely LOVE what I do and even more, I love working with children. I believe that as one door has been closed another has opened. All these prizes would help fill the needed and necessary items and learning materials that will help us build a new future where we can work together and enjoy our "retired" life a little more securely. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this amazing giveaway.

This giveaway would mean a whole new start for my business. I am still recovering from crippling equipment failures a couple of years ago and winning this would literally make me competitive again in one move.

This would be amazing to win! I'd purchase a quality glass lens because I truly believe the better the glass, the better the image. (not that you can't get great images with other lenses!)
Liked and commented. Great giveaway. :)

this giveaway prize would mean the world to me! i have just started out —i've been in business for 4 mos. and want nothing more that to become great at what i love. i have been in love with photography for years, but just recently decided to turn it into, what i hope someday, will be a profitable business. i read EVERYTHING i can get my hands on —as long as i can find it for free!! i've got 5 kids and am a stay at home mom, so there isn't much wiggle room for finances. but i know i can be good, and i want the tools to help me get there!!

ooooh my gosh, what COULDN'T these prizes do for my business in 2012?? How much time do you have?
The Adorama money would go straight toward a new camera body… I'm stuck with a "beginner" DSLR that needs an upgrade. I love that little camera but… it's time.
The RTS membership would help with critiques to better my work, the amazing freebies for marketing, networking with incredible photographers. That list could continue forever.
The CMD website would actually make my brand look credible! For now I have a site that very much looks like someone who doesn't know what they are doing put it together (hm, go figure… someone did! Me!)
The combination of the 3 prizes will help me build my business and brand, and potentially be able to go full time shooting weddings and babies in 2012. Bye bye day job? We'll see!

If I won this it would mean as much to me as winning the jackpot lottery! I would buy some equipment and push my comfort zones further in 2012, and feel more confident with better equpiment! Being a new photog my comfort zones are pushed everyday anyway but having a better camera would just inspire me to go all out!
Commented on all of the vendor pages, and tagged you in the posts! (didn't tag in yours because… well… it's yours! : )

Winning this contest would mean so much to my business and more importantly my family!! It would allow me to get my dream camera and allow shooting indoors so much better!! Instead of having to save so much of my business money I could put it towards doing fun quality things with my sweet girl and husband!

Wow, this giveaway would allow me to invest in some great, quality lenses and build a presence where there currently is none — at a much faster pace than I ever dreamed possible. Even if I don't win, though, I know I will get there! I love this photography "thing!"

Winning this giveaway would mean the world to me! I'm a full time student and am not taking out any loans or financing to invest in my business and have invested every penny I've been able to save in lenses and my marketing/web presence, but it still hasn't been a ton of money. While I know equipment doesn't make the photographer, a good photographer with high quality equipment can make magic. Plus the learning opportunity from Rock the Shot and a new portfolio site would be amazing <3 I think this would give my business the push it needs to really grow in 2012
PS: ditzy me forgot to put my last name on all of my other comments, whoops!

#5 Winning this contest would mean that I would have the means now to start my business! I've got the time now to focus on my photography more now, I just need the help and $! Thanks for setting this up for all of us!
Winning this giveaway would mean so much to me & my business. Right now I'm working out of home with very little equipment. I plan to open a studio by mid 2013 if not sooner and this would be such a huge help. I've been working another job as well to try and save but it's at a job I completely hate. I love photography so much that any bit I can get my hands on helps a great deal. Good luck and happy holidays to everyone! (:
I'm following on FB AND I'm on the mailing list :) Oh and of course I shared! I have a few photog friends who would also LOVE this giveaway!
With the move and a new baby.. this year was hard financially and for the business. It would be an awesome startover point for us. We'd use it well.
