Who won the September 2014 Tombstone Photo Challenge?!

Question

October is here, and the first challenge hosted by the Global Cemeteries Project has come to an end! Here are our two winners, for overall number of tombstones photographed, and for number of cemeteries completely photographed:

Overall tombstones photographed: Martha Riley with 2502 tombstones!

Cemeteries completely photographed: Liz Parker with 14 cemeteries!

Overall, we had 16 people sign up for the challenge, of whom 8 actively participated. We photographed tombstones in 3 countries (7 US states, 1 Canadian province, and 1 English county). We photographed a grand total of 9152 tombstones!! We visited 41 cemeteries, and completed photography of 27 of those.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

By the way, you can look forward to another cemetery challenge a few months from now, and this one can be done sitting at your computer! Stay tuned! If you have any feedback about this first challenge, I'd love to hear it and try to improve upon it for next time. Thanks!

Congratulations Martha and Liz! Thanks Lianne. I felt I learned a lot plodding along behind you. I'm looking forward to making my connections for my photos.

My apologies for being one of the eight  people who signed up but was unable to participate in the Tombstone Challenge.  This month has flown by in a blur of work, but hopefully, I'll be landing on solid ground again soon!  A big thank you to all those who did participate, and congratulations to our champs, Martha and Liz!  Great job, you two!

No worries, Tom! There's always the next challenge! I'm still thrilled with how much participation we did get, considering this was my first shot at this whole challenge thing and we were figuring a lot of stuff out as we went along.
