Each year our Birth Photography Image Contest results go viral! This year we want to spread the beauty of birth to people and places that have never seen it before! We cannot do this alone, this goal requires YOUR help to spread the news! 

We have gathered multiple ideas of ways you can share this exciting event to your audience while simultaneously creating quality content, marketing birth photography, and spreading the beauty of birth! It’s a win/win for you and our industry as a whole.

We hope these ideas help you see an increase in your audience interaction on social media and possibly more inquiries for your services!

Write a Blog Post!

Want to write a blog post about the competition results? We HIGHLY encourage you to do so! 

Some content ideas for your blog post:

• Share the images you submitted into the competition
  • Share the stories behind the images you submitted
  • Tag the parents on social media when you share your blog post
• Write a little about and link to 2-5 photographers who are a part of our organization whose work inspires you
  • Tag the photographers on social media when you share your blog post

Here are some cool stats you can use to add to your blog post:

• We had 702 entries from 280 people in 22 different countries.
• We currently have 1140+ members in 52 different countries!
• Our community has existed for more than 10 years and started as a small online forum of birth photographers wanting to pave the way for this industry. Look how far we have come!

Important links to share in your blog post:

• Link to our website (birthphotographers.com)
• Link to the competition results: (https://birthphotographers.com/2020-birth-photography-image-competition/)
• Use the official competition hashtag: #IAPBP2020Competition
• Link to 1-4 of the articles that have featured our organization (check out the FB post to grab a few of the articles!)

Here are a few images you can use to share the news:

Share on social media!

• Share your blog post across your social media platforms.
• Share the images you submitted one at a time as Instagram posts.
• Go to the public Facebook post and comment AND like the announcement (this helps it spread further in the algorithms!).
  • Share the official FB announcement to each of your audiences.
• Share the competition results in any Facebook parenting and/or local photography groups you are a part of.
• Share on Twitter and tag @birthphotogs. Twitter is excellent for media! Tag your local news stations, tag each judge and thank them for their time and efforts, and tag our sponsors! The more you tag others, the more it spreads!
• Pin your images to Pinterest on your own board as well as our public Pinterest board for the competition. If you need to be added to our public pinterest board, email br****@bi****************.com to make the request.

We hope this helps!
