Calling all Vault members! We are launching a new page in the Vault - aptly titled "Galleries" - which all Gold and Platinum members should see across the Vault homepage adjacent to "TMR.com". The purpose of the galleries page is for members to be able to share photos, as was requested with the Vault #21 flag contest.
The first contest through the Galleries page will be a fun one! We would like all Vault members to showcase their Vault vinyl collections by uploading one amazing and creative photo of their collection. As with the last photo contest, don't be afraid to be creative with this contest, but please do keep it limited to Third Man Vault vinyl. Guys, we want to see what you got -- from the biggest collection to the, let's say, most curated collection.
The instructions for upload are simple enough --
1.) Click Galleries on the Vault homepage
2.) Click "Vault Vinyl Collection Contest"
3.) Click "Upload Here"
4.) Submit*
*One submission permitted per member
The contest will end on February 6th, at which point we will announce the winner. The winner of the Vault Vinyl Collection Contest will receive a mystery prize pack with ample goodies to add to their collection -- as you know, we can (and will) make it more than worth your while. So, get to it!
Thumbs up @ athinkingcat.
Maybe we could add a thumbs up feature to the comments section. @Don I totally agree it had been seeing all the amazing submissions. Can’t wait to see mine post later. This was my idea for my composition in my head since the announcement. Just glad I pulled it off it was a fun challange. And I got a computer photo resizing lesson from my husband to boot!
Some of the pics are truly amazing! I thought about my entry for some time, and build it trying to win, but the actually fun part is seeing some truly creative compositions and amazing collections from fellow Vault members. A tip of the hat to anyone who had this contest idea, ‘cause it’s truly great!
Wheew head explosion averted. Computer lesson for the week complete.
Loving the pics! Had to show my husband “See honey, I’m not weird for loving Jack like I do, there’s more people like me!” Lol
love looking at the photos, and that SHARK! wow!
Well… i bit the bullet… its not perfect and it has other TMR eye candy to tweak the composition… im guessing 85% of it is vault purchases and the rest are family and friends if you know what i mean… but if its “not by the book” as they say…..It’s My Little Room Where It’s Nobodys Vault But Mine … so it goes
There were no guidelines as to what could be used in the photo only to be that is was limited to Vault Vinyl and to be as creative as you want. I only used one vinyl record from my small collection in my entry. But it is an actual vinyl record that I own. Besides, this is supposed to be a fun contest. Do it for the fun of it. I like looking at everyone’s submissions. I think everyone was really creative and did a great job.
Mine is certainly a composition, but to be clear, is based around an actual photo of my collection (and pushed the limits of NYC apartment floor space…). The only “rule” I took away from the contest description was Vault vinyl. Otherwise—go crazy and have fun, I say!
Peter, I took a photo of my singles set up against a black backdrop and “aged” the photo in Photoshop to give it more punch. It looks “majorly Photoshopped” but it’s really a slight thing.
