About The Contest
Thank you to all of our walkers and to everyone who donated to the Springs of Hope Kenya Orphanage! We have created this photo contest for you for two reasons: One, to share and showcase the amazing photography talent around the world! And two, As our way of showing our appreciation for all of you! This is a free event for us so we have reached out to some of our amazing sponsors and have pulled together some pretty amazing prize lists for you all! Check out the prizes

WalkerS
Overview: You, the walker, will submit your best photo taken during the walk to your walk leader (only 1 submission per walker). The leader will review all entries and pick one. The selected image will then be entered into the contest.
1 Grand Prize winner and 10 finalists will then be selected by Scott Kelby himself, and will receive some amazing sponsor prizes. (see below).

Once you submit your image it will automatically populate into the GALLERY. The image with the most likes/comments will be our “People’s Choice” winner!
