We are having a Twitter giveaway to celebrate our grand opening event on December 5th, 2009! There will be two prizes: a signed, matted 8"x10" print by Stephen W. Oachs (a $20 value), and a mousepad or note card set of one of Stephen's photos (a $15 value). Winner may choose the design they prefer, from the selections below. (NOTE: Please read the rules on the right.)

All these items, and many more, are available at the Stephen Oachs gallery online store.

WINNERS POSTED ON OUR BLOG! CHECK OUT THE SELECTION VIDEOS. Thank you to everyone who participated! We had a lot of fun with this...hope you did, too!

Rules: Anyone who sends a legal, authorized Twitter message containing the phrase, #ApertureAcademy, between Nov. 18th and Dec. 4th, 2009, will be entered into the random drawing on Dec. 5, 2009. The drawing is part of our grand opening celebration. You must be over 18 to win, or have your parent's permission. You may enter as often as you like during the dates stated.

You are also invited to our gala event. We hope you will stop by, meet Stephen and all our instructors, get a tour, a little free Photoshop lesson, and the chance to win more prizes! We are giving away $5000 worth of valuable prizes at the opening. And don't forget, free food, drinks, and live music. It's going to be a heck of a party!
