Lending Club Blog

Back in March, Lending Club launched its first ever Lending Club Photo Contest to celebrate our new site and brand.  We invited all professional and amateur photographers to submit up to 4 photographs for a chance to win the $1,000 first place prize and many other prizes.  The response was fantastic with more than 250 pictures submitted, and over 300 votes during final face of the contest on Facebook.

Today, we present you the winners and honorary mentions:

1st Place / $1,000 prize:
The Promise by J. Griffin Stewart (103 votes)



2nd Place / $500 prize:

Mountainside Beauty by Greg Hahner (61 votes)
