Halloween Costume Photo Contest Rules
Here are the 2008 rules; the 2009 rules will be similar
1.) The object of the Halloween photo contest is to submit a digital picture of yourself, your family member or your pet in a terrific Halloween costume. Your pictures will be posted to the www.Family-Vacation-Getaways-at-Los-Angeles-Theme-Parks.com website (AKA www.Family-Vacation-Getaways.com) and be voted upon by the website's readers. You'll have fun seeing your picture on this website if you enter...but that's not all! You might also win money---a $100 Grand Prize, a $50 second prize, or a $25 third place prize! It's free to enter---and no purchase of products advertised on this website (such as Halloween costumes) is required.2.) Eligibility for the Halloween costume photo contest
You are eligible to enter a picture into this costume contest if you:
a.) Are a resident of the United States or Canada (contest offer is void if prohibited in your locality)
b.) Are 13 years of age or older. Submissions from children age 12 and under should be made by their parents. Teens should have their parent's or guardian's consent to enter the contest.
c.) Took the costume photo (or photos) yourself. Also, your entries must be pictures of you and/or your own children or your own pet. If a friend is in your picture, as well, you must have your friend's permission to enter your photo into this costume contest. No professional photos may be entered, nor photos that were done which duplicate a studio shot.
3.) Beginning and ending dates of the Halloween Costume photo contest
The beginning and ending dates for the 2009 Halloween Costume contest have not yet been decided.
4.) Entry requirements for the Halloween costume picture contest
a.) Your photograph must be an original digital photo. It must have been taken by yourself (or by your minor child for whom you are making the submission.) If you do not have a digital camera, you may send a digitally scanned image of your photo, instead.
b.) Your Halloween costume picture must not have been previously published on the internet, including other Halloween Costume Contests held by this website.
c.) Your Halloween costume picture must be compatible with the "family friendly" nature of this website. Entries may not contain any content that:
1.) Is sexually suggestive, explicit nor would be offensive to the many parents reading this website with their young children.
2.) Promotes gangs, dangerous stunts, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, weapons, hatred or other harmful activities
5.) Number and handling of entries to the Halloween Costume photo contest
Choose your best photos! For the 2009 costume contest, each contestant may submit only ONE picture of each costume, and a maximum of 3 different Halloween costume pictures in total to the competition. Please send good-quality photos. Pictures may be eliminated from the contest before the judging phase for reasons including the following: too dark to see the costume or its wearer; blurry; too small to be seen easily during judging, etc.
Although you may enter up to 3 Halloween costume pictures, you may only win one prize. If more than one of your costume photos tally up a winning number of votes, you will be awarded the highest prize for which you qualify, and your lower-level prize must be forfeited.
6.) Halloween costume photo contest judging
After the submission deadline passes, photos will be arranged for display. It has not yet been decided if the 2009 winners will be decided by voting or by judging.
Be thinking about which costume you'll enter next Halloween! See you next year!
