Week 11 of the Your Patch of Michigan Photo Contest is Here!
We're at Week 11 of our photo contest. Show us your Michigan pride in photos from anywhere in the state and you could win cool prizes.
Got a cool Michigan pic on your phone or digital camera? Enter up to three of them into the Your Patch of Michigan photo contest this week!
You don't need to be a professional photographer to win. The single qualification for photos you submit is that they say "Michigan." If it oozes "Michigan," it qualifies.
Each weekly winner will earn a prize, and we're in week 11, which runs through Aug. 12.
The week 11 prize is a week of classes at Equilibrium Pilates in Bloomfield Hills valued at $140. Equilibrium Pilates Studio specializes in the total body exercise experience, offering wide variety of relaxation, physical muscle building and rehabilitation classes.
Last week, more than 200 photos were submitted to the contest, showing off some of what is the best Michigan has to offer – and more importantly, what Michigan means to each person. Previous winners can be viewed here.
After Labor Day, we'll pick a grand prize winner from all of the weekly winners.
The grand prize winner will receive a certificate for a two-night stay at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island (to be used before Oct. 31, 2013, and blackout dates and other restrictions may apply). The approximate retail value of the Grand Prize is $600.
How to enter Your Patch of Michigan contest
Here's how you can enter: We have a few photos here to start things out. To add your own images, first become a registered Patch user if you aren't already, then add to the photo gallery on this page.
In the photo caption area, be sure to include your real, full name and the place where the photo was taken, as well as any other relevant information about what the photo shows. The email address you use to register with Patch must be a working one so we can reach you should we have questions or should you be selected as a winner.
Each week, we'll have a new gallery and a new winner.
This week's photos will be judged from entries submitted Aug. 6-Aug. 12, 2012.
The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older. And this wouldn't be a contest without a complete list of official contest rules. Please, no more than three (3) entries per person per week. The winner will be selected each Monday, and must respond to notification within 48 hours.

I just downloaded a picture and it doesn't show up. It says I downloaded 4 but only 3 are shown.

Maybe a dumb question, but, if my photo did not win can I enter it again the following week?

That's not a dumb question at all, Heather. It's a very good question because yes, you can! Photos do not automatically carry over week to week, but you're more than welcome to resubmit the same photo (or send in new ones) for the following week's contest. Good luck!
