Portland Beer Photo Contest

PortlandBeer.org championed by Matt Wiater, one of the most awesome people in Oregon, hosts a beer related contest every month.  April's contest is a photo contest in which you can win a $20 gift certificate to Belmont Station.  The rules are simple...

Rules:

• You must live in Portland, or be able to pick up your prize in town.
• Post a photo to our Facebook wall. You can either post the actual photo file or a link to the photo from an online service like Flickr, Picasa, etc. When linking to an online photo service, Facebook should create the thumbnail of the image for you in your wall post.
• The photo must be related to Portland beer: a photo of beer, brewery, taplist, etc. Get creative, but make sure it’s related to beer in Portland!
• The photo with the most Likes at the end of day on March 31st is the winner! The Likes are only counted on the original photo post on our wall, not any of the comments attached to the photo.
• You can post as many photos as you want, but one great photo with 20 Likes is better than 20 average photos with 1 Like!

You can link to everything that you need on PortlandBeer.org.  It is a great way to get exposure for yourself or your photography.  Amateurs are encouraged to submit photos.  If you would like feedback on how to improve your photography skills, Matt, an accomplished photographer will be happy to provide feedback.  While you are looking at ways to enter the competition, check out the great resources PortlandBeer.org has to offer.  Arguably the longest running beer blog in Portland, beer fests are listed, blog entries regarding upcoming releases are there and many other resources including maps that will assist you in your Oregon craft beer journey.

On the personal side, Matt recently earned an honorary doctorate it Glassware Technology.  He earned the esteemed award by consistently promoting proper use of the many forms beer can be poured into.  Congratulate him the next time that you seem him out and about in Portland.
