Hey there competitors, great job in the regular season, it was a tight race all the way to the end! Now is the time for the PLAYOFFS! You have trained tirelessly for the past two and a half months for this moment! Now, step forward and ascend to the throne of the St. Louis Photographer Showcase Grand Champion! Here is your chance, be the photographer that you have always dreamed about! Will we see the continued success of the red hot Trevis Thomas and Alan Webb, the resurgence of David McWhirter and Jessica Esfahani, a retribution from Rebecca Haas and Joe Prosperi for being edged out of the regular season, or the dark-horse domination of Dave Kopp and Lindsey Lehmuth? The Showcase Playoffs is this Thursday, November 10th, here at Studio Altius, coinciding with our monthly Brew-Ha-Ha. A series of your images will face off with the other competitors in a head-to-head, single elimination, bracketed tournament. Here is the info on what you will need to do:

1. Email a collection of images created between 6/15/11 and 11/9/11 to showcase@studioaltius.com by 11:59pm on November 9, 2011.
2. The number and names of your jpegs will coincide with the number of potential rounds that you might play. If you might play 4 rounds, then you will need to submit four images titled “yourname1.jpg”, “yourname2.jpg”, “yourname3.jpg”, and “yourname4.jpg”. The numbers that you give for each image will dictate the round that it will appear. Feel free to use any strategy that you think will give you the upper hand!
3. If you have questions about rule #1 or rule #2, call us at the studio 314-769-9769.

For your clarification, here is a list of how many images you will need to submit:
4 images:
Webb, Thomas, Haas, Prosperi, McWhirter, Wise, Smith, Cooper, McCaskill, Esfahani, Birkenkamp, Simmons, Kopp, Barr

Good Luck!
