The Final Contest

The What’s in the Fridge? contest (with a prize of $500 worth of groceries courtesy of a printable coupons website) received 46 entries and 1699 votes. There were all kinds of wonderful images. Here at the office, we really liked the shot of the guy in the fridge drinking from the plastic jug. I personally thought that snapshot was brilliant and it was performance art because of the crazed expression on the guy’s face.

However the strangest thing happened… and it really threw us off balance when we had a three way tie between Lemon-aid, Chilling in the Fridge, and Eggclipse. And there’s nothing in the Lenzr Rules to determine the proper course of action in such a scenario.  And it was too late to go back to the original Lenzr Judges. (Rob made a mistake by not asking the Lenzr Judges to give a 2nd places)  so we improvised.

This was a photo that most people had to look at twice to see what the heck is happening. From a Lenzr Judge: “Made me laugh. Double entendre. Very creative. This person went to a lot of trouble to get a laugh.”  And it made us laugh too.

From a Lenzr Judge: “Great humour, good exposure, nifty product placements.” Which is a fascinating way to say that once again Seattle used the Lenzr canvas to tell us a story about herself and her vegetarian lifestyle or pro-biotic anyway.

And finally,

Eggclipse by silversurfer71

From a Lenzr Judge: “There is a certain sense of menace in this cleverly exposed shot. The ‘Jaws’ theme music right away starts to play in my mind.”  Haha yeah. We hear the Jaws theme too, followed by a giant crack!

It’s a Photo Finish!

What were we at Lenzr to do about a three-way tie? We couldn’t pick the winners ourselves, so after a bit of soul-searching, Rob Campbell he Prime Innovator of Lenzr, decided to take Lenzr to the streets. Luckily, our office is located in The Distillery District in Toronto–this postal code is overflowing with people making a living with artistic pursuits–and it only took about ten minutes for Rob to find the impressive panel of judges that he did!

Please click on the video below to see how we arrived at the winner of the What’s in the Fridge? contest. The judges, in order of appearance, are Gerry Williamson, children’s book illustrator, Rod Rennick, designer/sculptor at RPT Inc., and then finding Ian Willms, a local photographer was timely, and Philippe Souroujon of Pikto Studio were all gathered here in the lane beside Pikto in the Distillery.
