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! :)

First of all.. what a wonderful giveaway and prizes! My business, like so many others here would hugely benefit from what is offered here.. from the Adorama certificate (new lighting and a lens I've been dying to add) to the great Forum membership, to the beautiful website (already planned on changing for 2012 but hadn't made the decision yet). Winning would be a HUGE AWESOME start to the new year! Thank you!

I have been trying to move forward in the photography world for several years, but I have never had the means to dive into it. I never realized how much it was to get started! I have had a passion for it since I was young and I finally took the plunge in 2011. Although I feel I have grown a lot in a short time, I would still love to get new, better equipment. I know that it is not all about the tools, but it definitely helps! My t3i has brought me pretty far, but I would be forever grateful to win this and grow my business in 2012. THANK YOU for the opportunity!
The giveaway prize to me would me a step forward in my business. I've been looking for a new camera body and I desperately need a website revamp. I'm always looking to further my education formally or through forums and site, I love to learn more about the things I enjoy.
Thank you for your generosity! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am a NIKON girl through and through, and would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have the

this would be my big chance to upgrade to a full frame camera. i specialize in births, so that extra light is so so important to me. in 2012 i am hoping to focus my business down to home births, and i also want to work with a local school and get cameras into kids hands for a community project! thanks so much for this giveaway. someone is going to be really lucky.

This is an incredible giveaway. I'm so thrilled to see you giving back to the photographic community this way. My husband has been unemployed for about a year, and things have been very tight financially around here. A $2,500 gift certificate would allow me to purchase a few missing pieces for my studio. Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I'm ready to give up on my dream, this giveaway would change my life. I can't thank you enough for doing this. You WILL change someones life!

If I won this I could get the lens I've been saving for, which would really help my business! I feel that the hosting and marketing would launch me from just-starting-out and new to all of this to a real, bona fide pro-photog!
This giveaway would help my business tremendously. I just upgraded my camera earlier this year, but being that I am just starting out and some what new to my area I am just getting to know people and gaining their trust. Over the summer I went back home to VA to shoot and rented equipment that I didn't own or could afford to purchase. While I was on a session that equipment was stolen, so I had to pay for it to replaced, so I am still without owning that piece of equipment even though I have paid for it. God has blessed me to make it through this year with just the income that is coming in from my business. My husband was laid off a few years ago and is now a full time student. He has been very supportive of my business, but what I make is what helps hold the family up, so I don't really have much of any extras to pay for extra equipment that I know would help me create better images. To win this contest would definitely be a blessing and an awesome early b-day gift. (Dec 31). *Praying for my first contest win!!! Thanks again for hosting something so great that can benefit anyone of us. :)
I gladly said hi & thanked these vendors, including you. This is going to mean the world to 1 lucky person. What a great gift around the holidays. Thank you.

winning this would be HUGE for my business! It would allow me to upgrade my equipment (with the Adorama g.c), expand my knowledge and technique (with the RTS membership) and an improved website (with CMD). thank you!
These prizes would mean better lenses, a back up body, tips and tools from peers and those I look up to – - everything that could make my 2012 a year to remember.
For me it would be the financial push that would help me in realizing my dream. I have the most amazing and wonderful Husband who has been supporting me but it would be selfish to make equipment something I would push for. He is the only one bringing an income in for us and working EXTRA so that we can have the roof over our head. Since seeing my love for photography he has encouraged me and even has been saying I need to upgrade but right now it isn't something we can do and I would not accept because I know our situation. For me to be able to jump start w/such an amazing gift of Adorama GC would mean the start of a dream finally coming true. I love photography and it has been a way of expressing myself and helping others capture their memories and to be able to really have the equipment that I need to completely feel comfortable in taking the full Next step and not just as "side" jobs would mean more then I could ever express. I tell my children to always dream big & so this is my wish saying out loud. (Scary to be truthful) Thank you for such an amazing chance I know its one in a hundreds who wish the same but it would forever chance my life to doing something that I hold so dear. Thank you for the amazing opportunity

Ho-lee…..what a GIVEAWAY!!! Thank you! I am following you on FB.
Thought I had already "liked" BP4U, but hadn't. I DO NOW!!!
I would use the gift certificate to purchase another camera body; my original 5d is getting old and I need a replacement. Thanks!
winning this giveaway would be amazing for me. i could finally get the lights and background stands i've been wanting so that i can set up an indoor studio. i've also been dying to get a new high speed lens. i'm so excited just thinking about the possibility of winning i can't wait!!!
Liked and commented on the vendor pages and bp4u, am already on the bp4u mailing list, and shared this post on my wall. :)
As far as what this giveaway would do for myself and my business, in short: EVERYTHING. Money is tight right now (as with everyone – can i get a what what?), and yet my spouse has pushed me not to give up on my photography business, rather than pursuing some other job with more reliable income. He works so hard every single day – 12 hour days and more, often – and this sacrifice has pushed me more than anything else could ever do to get out there and make it happen! Am saving for equipment upgrades (shooting with a rebel = not ideal) but at this rate saving every penny it will still take over 2 years to afford the markII. This giveaway could make it all happen!
Left some love on everyone's pages!!
Winning this giveaway would mean the WORLD to me! Its been a wonderful year & can't wait for all the fun sessions I have planned for 2012. Winning this giveaway would help me a lot <3 Thanks for hosting this giveaway- Best of luck to everyone entering!

Winning this contest would mean A LOT to my business! I would be able to buy a new lens with this…one that's badly needed!
i shared the giveaway post
I'd love to win this giveaway so that I could buy either more lenses or my dream camera, the canon 5d markII!! I'd love to start my own website as well so that I could begin my own photography business. We have an 11 week old and he has inspired me to do photography for a living, but it can be very costly starting off! That's for this amazing giveaway!!!
Winning this giveaway would mean more than you know…I work full time in retail and have my photography business on the side part time due to bills and boyfriend being laid off. I had hoped to upgrade to a 7D this past year still rocking my old 30D and I just need this to push my business. I have set my sights on 2013 as the year I go full time but I am laying the groundwork in 2012. It's going to be an awesome year…2011 was more than I could have ever hoped for. So in not so many words winning this giveaway would be a HUGE push in the right direction! : )

As for my blog comment: This would give me the opportunity to step up my business to the next level. That extra for my business would help us finish earning the money we need to adopt our children from Ukraine sooner than later — a dream come true! It would also give me a leg up in the area, which can't hurt to grow my reputation with such a beautiful website!
I would love to when the Adorama gift card because I would finally be able to by the Markii I've been dreaming about. With a new baby around, all extra money I have is going into savings. What a blessing it would be to win!

To win this giveaway would let me jump start my business. I am a part time photog, like most of your fans, I work full time. I also went back to school after 13 years. To win something like this would be amazing and allow me to move further ahead in my photography. I'm at the point in my learning that I'm being held back by my equipment and the lack of some things, such as lighting. I would literally bawl like a baby if I won this! Thank you so much for the opportunity and for all of your knowledge you share.
