After a week of voting, the winning pic from the 2011 State Fair Photo Contest has been crowned. It is Boomer Sooner on My Back. It received 51% of the vote in the finals.
Congratulations to our reader Evan for submitting this awesome photo. As a reward, he wins a dinner for four to Deep Fork Grill in Oklahoma City. The other finalists win a TLO shirt of their choice from Tree and Leaf.
I asked Evan if the classy OU fan knew her photo was being taken. He wrote:
Not until after. Her daughter came over and asked us to put it on Facebook. I thought that was a little weird. I thought she was going to yell at us!
In hindsight, I guess she probably should have yelled at you. She also should have probably grabbed your camera or phone and smashed it to the ground. But that would have required her to get off her seat and chase you. I doubt that would have happened.
Anyway, that is it for this year’s contest. Later today we will upload some of the pics to our Facebook page that barely missed the cut and didn’t make the semi-finals. We had a lot of good pics this year and they are worth checking out.
We'd also like to thank everyone who submitted a photo or voted. We received about 150 submissions and over 4,000 votes. We obviously couldn't do this without the help and participation from our readers and Ogle Moles.
And one other thing. If you followed the voting for most of last week, you may have noticed “The Two Fister” was leading for most of the competition. That’s because some Douche Bag(s) with the IP Addresses 76.229.242.38, 76.203.130.11 and 198.102.159.200 cast about 500 votes for the photo. We don’t tolerate automated ballot stuffing for our contests and removed the duplicate votes. That’s because we are so dapper and handsome.
