Picture Competition – Winner announced!

Sofia Talvik live at Södra Teatern 2010

We had a little competition on the night of the release party where all you fans could take a picture of the gig, post it on Facebook and compete for a Sofia Talvik Florida tote. We had so many great contributions that it was really hard to choose a winner.

But by capturing the happiness and and ambiance of the gig and by proving that you do not need a professional camera to take a great picture Therese Göterheim made us look twice at this lovely picture.

I didn’t even realize I was in the competition until I got the #1 Channel Prize in Ourstage.com’s Folk genre for February. My song Jonestown had been compeeting and obviously went down well with the audience. I was also first runner up for the grand prize. Here’s some of the heartwarming comments on that:
