- Photos CANNOT be changed after they are posted on the contest. Make sure you LOVE the photo you will submit before sending it.
- Identical twins gets ONE entry in the contest. You can send one photo of them together, or one individual of each. Either way, they will get ONE number.
- You can participate with each one of your kids, but you can only vote for ONE each day.
- Photos can be home photos or professional photos (when you submit a professional photo, we assume you have the rights to do so). The idea is that they need to show the real personality of your child. Home photos are always the best! Professional photos CANT have a watermark on the face.
- The photo you submit should be a current photo. It doesnt need to be a photo from today, but a photo that shows how your child looks right now.
- The winners will get a high resolution file for each card for them to print on their own. They will be able to make as many changes as they want, and the cards will be made to please their taste and liking.

WANT TO PROMOTE YOUR CHILD? After you submit the photo of your child, just fill out a contact form letting me know that you want a blinkie for your child... I will email you a blinkie for you to use on your blog, Facebook or anywhere you want just like this example on the right.

So, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? I assure you that if you win, 2010 is going to be a year that you will NEVER forget!!! Go to this post and place your vote NOW.
