When I heard that Solo Cups was having a photo contest, I decided, “Someone’s got to win it, and it might as well be me!” and started brainstorming creative uses of Solo Cups.
I had the idea of making hats with the cups, but my dad expanded it and said to incorporate our dog into the photo. When I emailed it to him, he said, “That’s the winner!” Being the daddy’s girl I am, I wanted it to be so.
Solo liked it, too, and chose it for the 1st runner up. I won $1,000!
The real fun is seeing the original, showing my youngest daughter in denial over not being part of the picture.
I kind of liked it in B&W, too.
Lesson learned: There’s a whole lot you can do with a Solo cup!
Colorful, aren’t they?

Congratulations. I kind of feel bad for youngest because I see her needing a hat too, lol. But I love the telephone one! This is a great honor and what an awesome prize!

You are SO creative, Dawn. I love these shots – but the winning one is definitely awesome. Although the one with your daughter pouting in the background is great, too. While I like the b&w, I think the colors really make it – especially considering that the Solo cups were the point. Congratulations!! :-)
