TIN BARN PHOTO CONTEST!

Okay all you Tin Barn Fans, now is the chance to show off your goods ......
that you found at the Tin Barn Market that is!

TIN BARN PHOTO CONTEST!
ENTER TO WIN A $20 TIN BARN GIFT CARD

We have had such a fun, fantastic few months opening and tinkering with the concept of our little Tin Barn Market.  Meeting and collaborating with so many wonderful, creative, & planet friendly people has been great.  Thank you to everyone who visited, stopped by, bought something, baked, created or made things for the shoppe, and to those who have inspired us to continue down the road of spreading the word about unique ways to re-use, re-purpose, and reclaim materials and the importance of diverting waste from landfills. We hope to continue to stay in touch with all of you over the winter as we explore and try out some new angles and other avenues! 

As we close out the season at our current location outside of Almonte, ON we thought a photo contest showcasing YOUR favourites would be a fun and interactive to say thank you for a great summer and your support!

So here's what you've gotta do!

1.  Upload a photo onto the TinBarn Facebook Page with a short note/description 
     telling us how how you have used a Tin Barn  find and why you love it. 

2.  Haven't taken something home from the the Tin Barn yet? Ahh, what a pity... but no worries, we welcome you to drop by this Sunday Oct 2  to create your own fun photo
     using anything you see and like. (no, you do not have to buy anything from us to enter  the contest, but your photo does need to have a Tin Barn item in it) 
     ***We will also have a camera onsite that you can borrow if needed*** 

We will be judging and selecting our top three photo favourites with these things in mind:

1) overall greatness & appeal of the photo
2) originality of how you have used something you found (re-used, re-purposed, re-homed)3) and above all, a touch of humour gets big brownie points! (the good, clean, fun kind)

There is no limit to how many entries one person submits, provided your photograph contains an item from the Tin Barn.

HURRY! Deadline to ENTER is Sunday October 9, 2010Contest Winners will be contacted November 1st, 2011 and will be able to redeem winning Gift Cards at our online store that we are currently working on opening in the very near future!  That's right...funky finds delivered right to your front door. Exciting.
