              And The Winner Of Fstoppers’ Gulf Photo Plus Trip To Dubai Is…

              Over the last 10 days we have been running a contest to send one lucky reader to Dubai for Gulf Photo Plus 2013. Not only does the winner get all their travel expenses covered but they also get a full access pass to the whole event and workshops of their choosing. Lee and I threw in free copies of our How To Become a Professional Commercial Wedding Photographer and Peter Hurley’s The Art Behind The Headshot to sweeten the deal even more. Want to know who wins? Watch the video above or continuing reading below.

              After randomly picking one semi finalist through Twitter, Facebook, and Fstoppers.com, we decided to film ourselves picking the final winner. As we did announcing the winner of our big $14,000 Behind the Scenes Contest, we tried to surprise the winner on camera as they received the exciting news.

              Congrats to Philip Vukelich for winning one of the most exciting contests we’ve done. Here is his winning comment:

                I am so disappointed I didn’t win but at the same time I am happy for the winner. Opportunity of a lifetime!

                Here it is, Ett Venter: Hell yeah! I’m incredibly excited to go learn more about the thing we all love in one of the coolest cities I could imagine. I’m sorry not everyone who entered gets the chance to go to Dubai. I wish you could all come, but I will do my best to share the experience with you. It will be an experience I will never forget. Thank you, Patrick, Lee, and the rest of Fstoppers. You guys are awesome! Now I have to figure out how to make it through my classes until March when all I’ll want to think about is how amazing GPP will be.

                So the moral to the story basically is…. If you mildly cuss with your (apparently) well thought out submission, you’ll win. That was quite a eloquent blurb.

              • Terrence Chambers

                Congrats to you Phillip.

                I just moved to Dubai 3 months ago. It’s pretty insane. Bring your life savings. It’s hard to ball on a budget here.
