It made us smile all Monday, too!

Just in case you did not know, we recently held a photo contest to win a holiday to Nepal for two people to help support the local communities after the Earthquakes earlier this year.

After an intense judging process with several bruised egos and lots of damaged appendages, (just kidding, we’re pretty civil) the Sherpose contest winner has been decided.

We pooled together our top picks in a shortlist, and then the real job began. With so many great entries, it was incredibly hard to decide (we wish we could have given you all the trip), but alas, there can be only one – congrats, Highlander…er sorry, Bizzyemz5 aka Emma!

The winning snap came from a blue sky beautiful late August day on the Great Wall. Emma and her son teamed up for a double trouble team Sherpose, and it worked. Check the winning entry below.

Don’t feel down if you didn’t win though, we just unveiled our newest Sherpa’s contest Love at First Bite. Enter for your chance to win 10,000rmb in cash.
