Hi, everyone! Here is the latest on the Delaware Area Meet & Greet / Photo Shootout Challenge Competition! 

It is all set for Friday October 30th at the East End Cafe, 270 E. Main Street in Newark, DE from 7pm-Midnight (7-9pm is the Meet & Greet , Shootout starts at 9pm). 

The theme for this whole event is…Halloween!  We also have a special sponsor for this event – Mitchell Poulouin, bodypainter, will be on hand to assist models with special Halloween effects!!!

Here is a rundown of the event... 

7pm - 9pm - Meet & Greet = Meet & Greet with free appetizers - you are highly encouraged to be there no later than 9pm if you plan on participating in the Photo Shootout Challenge Competition!  Bring your cards & ports to share.  Look for the balloons, cameras, and models in costumes (not too hard, huh?).  We will be in the front of the restaurant/bar.

9pm – Door prizes given out, announcements are made, trophies given out from the last photo shootout challenge & then the unveiling of the photo shootout challenge competition for the night!  

~ 11:30pm - Midnight – Wrap up! 



Ground Rules for the Photo Shootout Challenge Competition: 


1 - Have fun! 


2 - You must be at East End Cafe by 9pm!  Time is precious and we need to start on time to end on time. 


3 - Trophies will be awarded to the winners of the challenge at the next Meet & Greet / Shootout Challenge.
4 – You will be matched up randomly with a model/photographer. 
5 – Photographers will have until Monday night at midnight to post their submission for the competition to the Blue Hen Studios Facebook site.



This event, in particular, the Photo Shootout Challenge, always has a lot of interest - the theme is DEFINITELY Halloween!  The specifics of the challenge will not be fully revealed until that night.  Here is what I can tell you for now:  We plan on challenging everyone that participates in this one - from the photographers to the model to the makeup artists that participate! As in the past, you may be given a prop to use and must be in your photo for it to be entered into the competition…or it could be something else.  You will need to be there to find out!  Again – we will definitely challenge you! 

Photographers - be prepared to shoot on location...that means bring your stuff...there is plenty of parking along Main Street and at East End.

Models - if you have yet to be at one of our events, this is going to be one of our best and you will definitely have some new "looks" for your portfolio!  Please come in costume and if you want, Mitchell will be there to assist you with any body or facepainting you desire.  If you want his help, we suggest you arrive by 7pm! For this event – we encourage Halloween flavored effects!  Feel free to contact Mitchell directly ahead of time if you need  assistance.   Models aged under 18 must have a parent or guardian present.

Please see us on Facebook or Model Mayhem – Blue Hen Studios.

Please feel free to spread the word about this special event with your own contacts (and other sites - www.onemodelplace.com - www.modelmayhem.com - etc.).  A great night of fun is all set! 



So that's what we have for now...again as always if you have ideas, sponsors, "ins", etc. you have for this event or future events just let me know... 

Due to the special circumstances around this event we kindly ask each photographer for a $20 contribution to participate in the shootout competition at this event. This is to cover the costs of the competition (trophies, marketing, props, preparation, execution, judging, etc.)

Models, MUAs, and Specialists (bodypainters, stylists, etc.) participating in the shootout challenge attend for FREE!
