2011 Holiday Photo Contest!

It’s October, which means Holiday time is about to get rockin’! Pumpkin picking, pumpkin pies, hayrides, hot chocolate, snuggly sweaters, mittens, big family dinners, warm fireplaces, and lots of snuggling. It’s no surprise that holiday time is the most wonderful time of the year.

To celebrate the upcoming holiday season, we invite you to submit your family photos for a chance to be featured in sample card designs for our 2011 Holiday Photo Card collection. Several photos will be selected, and if yours is chosen, you’ll receive a 20% discount for your photo card order.

To make this contest even sweeter, our celebrity guest judge Courtney Dial (of Pizzazzerie & The Bakery Spot) will be choosing one photo to win a $50 Gift Certificate good toward your holiday photo card order.

Send us your best photos:

• crazy-in-love couples, fun families, cute kids, your favorite pet
• in color or black and white
• professional or home-camera

To enter:

1. “Like” us on facebook, if you haven’t already.
2. Post your photo on our wall, along with a fun title for your photo.  Be sure to select “public” in the dropdown menu.  Submission ends on October 24.
3. Encourage your friends to “like” your photo (and submit their own!)
4. We’ll announce winners on our blog and facebook page by November 1, and will contact winners via facebook.

The nitty-gritty:

1. You may submit as many photos as you’d like; however prizes are limited to one per household.
2. Submitted photos must be of your own family.
3. If submitting a photo taken by a professional photographer, you must have permission from your photographer to post (and for us to use) photo.  Winning photographers will be featured on the Little Sprout website.
4. Facebook “likes” will contribute to (but will not be the sole factor) in the determination of winning photos.
