			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">A few months ago I got a little email that let me know I was chosen as part of Two Bright Lights to receive an Editor&#8217;s Choice Award!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So I said, &#8220;WOOT!&#8221; Pretty neat eh?</p>
<div><a href="http://twobrightlights.com/editorschoice.php"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://twobrightlights.com/awards/getBadge/?aid=OTcwOQ==&amp;an=bWVyY2VyLmhpbGFyeUBnbWFpbC5jb20= " alt="Editors Choice Award" border="0" /></a></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here&#8217;s a little about the selection process:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Editors&#8217; Choice Award Winner Selection Process</strong></p>
<p>The 2012 <strong>Two Bright Lights Editors&#8217; Choice Awards</strong> is a signature program that recognizes photographers and vendors within the Two Bright Lights community whose number of published features in 2011 placed them among the top 5% of all Two Bright Lights members. Winners were published across many of the most respected lifestyle, wedding and other print and digital publications in the United States and worldwide.</p>
<p>The 2012 honorees reflect those that have demonstrated a superior quality of work for their customers, and those that have used Two Bright Lights&#8217; online platform to quickly and easily get published by submitting their authentic, stunning imagery and services directly to the top industry publications and editors.</p>
<p>Among thousands of photographers and vendors competing for publication, the Editors&#8217; Choice winners represent the best-of-the-best.</p>
