Grand Winner Interview
Vizi: Hi … Congratulations! You are the Grand Winner of the ViziSparkle Red contest! You won $365! Your winning photo is of a red cardinal perched on a fence. Your photo will be on the cover of the ViziSparkle Red magazine - what an accomplishment to win twice! Again, congratulations!
Vizi: Tell us about yourself as a Vizi365 affiliate.
Etta: I became an Affiliate in March of 2022. I love being an Affiliate. I love Vizi365 because it is a new business, it gives me a lot of access especially with communication, and I am able to be creative with the photos that I submit. I view Vizi365 as such a great opportunity in which to invest.
Vizi: Where and when did you take that winning photo? What is the story behind the picture?
Etta: In the winter of 2022 and in the middle of a blizzard, I was at the Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, Indiana. I happened to spot an Eastern Red Cardinal perched on a fence. The wind was blowing so hard and the bird was hanging on for its dear life! There was a bird feeder below and the cardinal wanted to get to the feeder, but it struggled because of the strong wind. It was both touching and funny to see the bird desperately hanging on in hopes to get some food. This picture is one of my most favorite pictures.
Vizi: What equipment did you use for that shoot?
Etta: Canon 1D XMark III; 300 lens
Vizi: What advice would you give someone about being a Vizi Affiliate?
Etta: Vizi365 business is such a beneficial business. When you enter photo contests outside of Vizi365, there is not a huge chance of winning. I have entered many, many contests, but never won anything. With Vizi, you have a chance to win, the photos are done by mostly deaf photographers, and there is a lot of encouragement. Vizi praises you for the photos you submit, they encourage you to submit photos, and you are able to make money from what you submit.
Congratulations to Etta! Good luck with your future photo entries!
