Monroe, CT – September 24, 2014 – Church Hill Classics (CHC), a leading manufacturer in the college diploma frame industry, announces five Winners in its nationwide summer contest, Frame My Proudest Moment Contest 2014. The public selected the five Winners during an online voting period. CHC is awarding $500 to the five Winners.

To enter the Frame My Proudest Moment Contest, entrants were asked to submit a photo from July 30 to September 3, 2014 of a proud moment that showcased the emotion behind the event or achievement. At the end of the contest entry period, CHC's expert judges reviewed the 2,000 entries and evaluated each based on the contest's criteria and selected 12 entries that portrayed proud lifetime moments that illustrated the emotion behind those events.

The 12 Finalists competed in an online public voting from September 9 – 17, 2014 reaching out to their friends, family, coworkers, and others to earn votes for their entries. The Finalists' photos showed these special lifetime moments: athletic victory, charity work, graduation, military accomplishment, missionary trip, music career success, personal conquest, special family moment, and wedding.

After the voting period, the five Winners were determined based on the number of votes the entries received. The award of $500 was divided among the five Winners:

Five Winners

Grand Prize Winner – Holly Gaudet from Nashua, NH

Holly's entry received the most votes in the contest naming her the Grand Prize Winner. Holly submitted a self-portrait reaching the top of a 3,000 foot mountain with the assistance from her new knee brace. In December 2013, she tore her anterior cruciate ligament, ACL, playing basketball. After the surgery, it took her eight months to recover. For Holly, reaching the top of the mountain was a personal and athletic triumph. The victory was one of the best feelings in her life and the start of bigger and better achievements.

Third Place Winner - Cheyenne Riley from St. Petersburg, FL


Cheyenne was chosen as the Third Place Winner. She submitted a photo of her boyfriend and her after they shaved their heads to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation last year. Cheyenne and her teammate raised over $3,500 for children's cancer research.
