Activity Two Photos Due February 7th!

Well, we are still tallying votes and we will probably announce the two Activity One winners tomorrow. But that doesn't mean we can't remind you that the next photo is due soon. :-)

Here is the basic info: The 2012 Grand Photo Contest consists of three main parts. Activity One is complete.


Activity Two Photos are due February 7th. And Activity Three photos will be due later in February (Date to be Determined Later).

Even if you didn't send in a pic for Activity One, you can still participate in the other Activities.

Each Activity will have 2 winners - so that is 6 winners in total. The Final Round - Show Your Creativity - will determine who gets what prizes.

Prizes: The first prize winner will get a doll - either McKenna, Lanie, MyAG #26, or MyAG #55. His/her choice. All of the dolls are brand-new and in their boxes with their books or Innerstar U items. 

The five other winners will each receive a $20 American Girl gift card.

For this contest anybody can enter, you don't have to be a blog follower or even be in the USA -- but if you are younger than 18 please get your parent/guardian's permission to participate, and if you are younger than 13, please get your parent/guardian's help with participation.

What type of photo should you send in for Activity Two?

Activity Two: Holiday/Celebration

Show us your doll(s) celebrating and having some happy good times. Your pic can be related to a holiday - any holiday from throughout the year and throughout the world. If you want to show us a pic about Halloween, or Kwanzaa, or the Chinese New Year - go for it! Any holiday works! 

Or you can show us any type of celebration - like a birthday, quinceanera, graduation, wedding, etc. Show us what is special about the holiday or celebration you have chosen!

Email us the photo at nora.demington@gmail.com. And include some info about the holiday or celebration you chose. Due Date: February 7th, 2012.

Then a week of voting will commence, Penny chooses two winners from the top 50%, and those peoples will be entered in the "Final Round." (Same schtick as for Activity One.)

Things to Keep in Mind:

The picture can be any size, but 400 pixels wide or wider is recommended or else your pic will be very small on the blog and difficult to see. Every pic we personally post here is 500 pixels wide, so that is what you should be aiming for as well.

Using Photoshop and other photo editing programs is fine.

Youtube video and slideshows are okay, but we'd prefer a photo.

You can include more than one doll in your photos. Your dolls do not have to be AG dolls.

You do not have to enter all of the activities, you can do one or two or all. But if you win an activity we do want you to participate in the Final Round.

If you win one activity, you can still enter the other activities and get votes -- but each person who enters can only win one activity -- that way we have 6 different people in the Final Round.

If you miss an activity, that is fine -- you don't have to participate in all three activities to be in the contest -- but doing all 3 does increase your chances of getting into the Final Round.

No human faces in the photos please -- remember: privacy is important! Hands are okay -- but no actually identifiable people.

Our email address is nora.demington@gmail.com. You will be using this to send in photos and to vote. 

If you are younger than 13 have your parent/guardian email the photos to us (remember: internet safety is important!).

We will be posting the photos here at The Doll Wardrobe - so make sure your photo is something that you don't mind if the whole world sees it. (Again, this is why you and/or your family really shouldn't be in the photo.)

Readers will be asked to vote for their favorite photos. They can vote for more than one photo. Voting will be done by email -- to vote you just email me at nora.demington@gmail.com and say something like "I vote for photo #8." Everyone will have a week to vote, from the point when we post the photos. You can vote for yourself.

The Doll Wardrobe does not share or sell your email to anyone. Only Penny sees your emails. 

At the end of the contest we will email the winners for her/his shipping address. (This is why it is important you have a parent/guardian's permission to enter if you are under 18).

Any questions? You probably have some -- so feel free to ask! :-D

And remember, Activity Two Photos are due Tuesday, February 7th!

Please email your photos to nora.demington@gmail.com.

The best way to send them is as an attachment.

It gives us a better quality pic to post on zee blog.

Good luck everyone!
