Time to Vote in PBT Photo Contest

Tuesday, November 6, 2012


Paint BidTracker has selected six finalists in its 10th Anniversary Photo Contest, and now it's time for you to vote for your favorite photo.

From now through Nov. 30, you may vote on one photo per day, every day. The photo with the most votes by midnight Nov. 30 will be named the grand prize winner.

The finalists were chosen from 130 photos submitted to the Project Showcase between Sept. 10 and Nov. 1.

Every Vote Counts

The grand prize winner will be selected based on popular vote, so every vote counts.

The finalists were selected by a panel of judges, which included Paint BidTracker and JPCL editors. Judges looked for photos that captured the creativity and beauty of industrial and commercial structures and the hard work that goes into painting them.

Grand Prize Loot

In addition to bragging rights, the grand prize winner will receive a prize package that includes:

  • An Olympus TOUGH TG-1 iHS digital camera;
  • Two admission passes to SSPC 2013 featuring GreenCOAT in San Antonio, TX, on Jan. 14-17;
  • Being featured on PaintBidTracker.com and published in a future issue of JPCL; and
  • The JPCL Editors' Photography Award, presented at SSPC 2013.

Winners will be selected entirely by popular vote. Voters may vote daily.

Submitted photographs that had previously won another contest or had been published in magazines or newspapers (except online) were not eligble. Enhanced or altered photos were not accepted.
