Shoreline Chamber of Commerce Business Photo Contest in August - with prizes

Tuesday, August 1, 2017

Photo contest sponsored by Shoreline Chamber of Commerce

Shoreline has many opportunities for beautiful photos, especially with our many parks and proximity to Puget Sound.

But Shoreline's businesses are also part of the City's identity and community, from the Aurora Corridor to neighborhood commercial areas. They are where we shop, eat, meet, relax, play, socialize, work, get things fixed, and more.

We hope this contest inspires you to pull out your camera when you are visiting Shoreline businesses you know well and and when trying out new businesses.

It doesn't matter if you're a professional or an amateur photographer because this is not a serious contest. The judges are local attorneys who know little about photography. Each has agreed to recusal in the event of conflict of interest.

We have GREAT PRIZES FOR OUR EIGHT PHOTO CONTEST CATEGORIES from Shoreline home-based businesses and non-profit organizations:

Best Business Interior Photo
six hour cleaning | The Cleaning Valkyries

Best Business Exterior Photo
honey package | Rainy Day Bees

Best Business Human Interest Photo
personal portrait | Lara Grauer Photography

Best Business Abstract/Mystery Photo
body care package | Sacred Sasquatch

Best Business 3rd Prize Overall Photo
custom holiday cards | Ray Braun Design

Best Business 2nd Prize Overall Photo
ceramic pot | Sam Scott Pottery

Best Business 1st Prize Overall Photo
puppy visit to work or party | Bravepup

Honorable Mention Business Photo
promo package | Fireflower Pepper Sauce


HOW TO ENTER THE CONTEST

WHEN: August 1 through August 31.
WHAT: Photos in .JPEG, .jpg or .png format, no larger than 10MB.
HOW: Send photos and optional captions to info@shorelinechamber.org

Winners will be announced and notified via email in early September.

The fine print: Submittal of a photo implies permission for the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce to use the photo as a part of our mission to support the Shoreline business community, which means using them on our website and other communications, with any photo credits specified by the photographer. If people are recognizable in the photo, please include permission (AKA a "model release") with the photo. We reserve the right to omit any photo from the contest. The photo must be an original and unaltered photo taken by the person who submitted it.

Louise Penberthy is keynote speaker at June chamber luncheon Wednesday

Tuesday, June 7, 2016

Louise Penberthy from Human Interop
Louise Penberthy from Human Interop is this month's Shoreline Chamber guest speaker on Wednesday, June 8. Her topic is Six Signs that You’re Misplacing Your Generosity with Clients – And What to do About It

There are six common signs of misplacing generosity with clients. Learn what these are, how to notice them in yourself, and the problems you can cause for yourself and for your business if you’re unwisely generous with clients. Avoid losing money, being taken for granted, and having to go to court, by creating a policy for you and your business to be generous wisely.


Louise Penberthy is a mediator, conflict-resolution coach, and trainer who helps people strengthen relationships, enjoy their job again, and live a happier life.

In the hundreds of cases she’s mediated over 14 years, she’s seen many ways in which business and personal relationships can suffer in disputes and conflict, and she's passionate about communicating what she's observed that helps people resolve disputes.

She also writes about diversity, inclusion, and enjoying cross-cultural experiences.

Louise is a member of the King County Bar Association's Section on Alternative Dispute Resolution, Washington Mediation Association, and the International Coach Federation.

Wednesday, June 8, 11:45am. to 1:00pm, Shoreline Center, 18560 1st Ave NE. Shoreline 98155.
