Once again, it’s time for me to start working on a few new holiday card designs! I blinked and Halloween is upon us, which means the holidays are right around the corner. How DOES that happen? Since I had such a great response to the holiday card photo contest last year, I decided to host another contest this year. I need some more sweet faces to inspire some new card designs.
For all of you photographers, aspiring photographers or folks with a camera, mostly willing subjects and a good eye, here’s your chance to have your photos featured in card designs in our online store, www.pinkpeppermintpaper.com. “What’s in it for me?” you ask. Submit your pictures for a chance to win one of two $50 gift certificate to Pink Peppermint Paper. Use it for your own cards or for any of our other paper items–invitations, announcements, paper cuts, or custom work. Heck, we might even be sweet-talked into working on a party for you.
Here’s the deal: Email your high resolution photos (300dpi) to eleanor@pinkpeppermintpaper.com. If you want your real names to be used, please include those as well, just as you would on your own cards, e.g. “…from the Schminkles–Danny, Lanny, Annie and Lou”. If you do not include names, we’ll just make some up. Each separate usable photo (read: not blurry, overly dated, or otherwise questionable) that you submit will get you another entry for a new chance to win. Send in as many photos as you like. Couples, singles, group shots, with our without adults. By submitting photos, you are certifying that you have the rights to use/distribute these photos and that you are not infringing on anyone’s copyright to those images. If you’re not sure, PLEASE ask. We don’t like to break the rules.
Photographers, please include a link to your website or Facebook page, so that we can feature it at the bottom of that card design page on our website. If you submit photos of subjects who are not members of your immediate family, you must also have their permission. If they agree to participate, we’ll also submit their names to enter the drawing–that’s one for you, one for them per picture ’cause we’re just that nice! The contest ends at midnight CST on Tuesday, September 27, 2011. Two winners will be drawn at random after that time and announced both on the blog and on our Facebook page. Follow us there to see some of the great images we receive as they come in!
You have two weeks to pick through your files! If you are a photographer and are interested in offering your clients a discount to use your images in their Pink Peppermint holiday cards, please email me at eleanor@pinkpeppermintpaper.com, and we’ll get you set up. Questions? Don’t be afraid to ask. Email me at info@pinkpeppermintpaper.com or post your query on our Facebook page.
