Win a $250 photo gear shopping spree from Imaging Resource

Craving some new gear for your camera bag? Imaging Resource can help. Today we launched our first-ever sweepstakes on Facebook, where IR fans can enter for a chance to win a $250 gift certificate from our trusted affiliate partner, Adorama. You can increase your chances of winning by sharing the sweepstakes with your friends; you'll receive two additional sweepstakes entries for each friend who successfully enters. As a bonus prize, IR will be awarding a $100 Adorama gift certificate to the fan who gets the most friends to participate.

Simply visit Imaging Resource's "Photo Gear Shopping Spree" Sweepstakes on Facebook, "Like" our page if you haven't already, and submit your name and email address to enter. (Note: You will not be automatically entered if you already have "Liked" us on Facebook. You still have to click on the link and submit a sweepstakes entry.)

Once you've entered, you can share the sweepstakes with your friends via the special Facebook, Twitter and email invitations found on our sweepstakes page. The deadline to enter is Monday, Sept. 10, at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Imaging Resource will conduct a random drawing from all entries on Tuesday, Sept. 11, to select the $250 sweepstakes winner, and we'll also tally up your Facebook friends' entries to select the $100 sharing winner. After the winners have been notified and confirmed, we'll post the results on IR. Good luck entering the sweepstakes and stay tuned for details on more contests to come.

In the meantime, we at IR are curious about how you'd spend your winnings. Would you put the gift certificate toward a DSLR upgrade or a new lens? Pick up a compact travel zoom or some much-needed accessories? Let us know by posting in the comments section below.
