*Collages containing very similar photos, or the same photo repeated, will count as a single entry, at the discretion of the Judges.

Grand Prize Info: The Final Showdown

Becoming a weekly finalist automatically qualifies you to be a grand prize finalist, but the judges will also add some wildcard finalists into the mix based on number of entries and quality of their submissions.

Public Voting for finalists will be available on Freedom’s Facebook page on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at 10:00 am for 24 hours from the start of the voting period. Every like equals a vote. Share with your friends to increase your votes. The Grand Prize Winner will be announced via Freedom’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram page on August 17th, 2022.  The Grand Prize is $1,000.

The grand prize vote is exactly like a weekly vote, except that is last for 24 hours. All the same parameters apply.
