Name Your Dream Assignment Winners

Following four weeks of non-stop voting and discussion, we’re thrilled to announce the Name Your Dream Assignment judges have selected a winner from the contest’s top 20 finalists.

And the winner is:

Picture Hope by Shutter Sisters, Jen Lemen and Stephanie Roberts

The Shutter Sisters will receive $50,000 to help them live out their dream assignment. The pair will also receive a Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds with Windows Vista and a video camcorder so they can document their dream assignment for everyone to watch and follow. Congratulations to the Shutter Sisters for winning the grand prize and having the opportunity to live out the assignment of their dreams.

We are also very proud to announce the two Name Your Dream Assignment runners-up. Both runners-up will also receive a Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds with Windows Vista. They are:

The Traveling Poet Project by Sevan Aydinian
and
The World in a Bubble by Tom Storm

Much like the public vote, the judges’ vote was unbelievably close. So close, in fact, that Lenovo and Microsoft decided that all of the finalists deserve a prize. Each finalist will receive a free copy of Microsoft Expression Media 2. Microsoft Expression Media 2 is a multi-faceted digital asset management solution for photography enthusiast and professionals. It deftly handles organization, cataloging, metadata, editing, presentation, playback, publishing, distribution, and archiving—all integrated into one application.

Once again, congratulations to the winners as well as the finalists and everyone who participated in Name Your Dream Assignment. We cannot thank everyone enough for your creativity, passion and wonderful thoughts and ideas that you shared. We hope you will want to keep tabs on the Shutter Sisters as they live out their dream assignment.

Thanks again to everyone. We hope all your dream assignments come true.
