Welcome to the 2011 photography contest by a Snaggy diMe.

Each year we send a holiday postcard to all our customers and also publish a calendar for the following year. In the past the photographs came from our cutomers and this year we would like to continue the tradition of having our customers take an active role in helping us design these creations.

We are seeking photograph submissions for our 2011 holiday card and for the 2012 calendar.


* Contest rules:

* Format of Entries:
All photographs must have been taken by a digital or film camera. Photoshop or other manufactured images will not be accepted. We will be happy to accept digital images in JPG and GIF formats. Digital images must have a minimum resolution of 2000 pixels wide by 1500 pixels high and be in landscape or panoramic format.



* Copyright:
By submitting an entry for the contest the contributor certifies that the image is original work, created and owned by him/her and is free of claims by any other party. If applicable, the contributor has acquired all necessary model and property releases that allow an image to be published. Submitted images will be displayed on our website (asnaggydime.com) and winning entries will be used in our publications, attributed to the original contributor.

Contributors agree to hold harmless and release a Snaggy diMe, its staff and owners from loss, claim, injury, damage or expense, including, but not limited to attorney's fees and costs, which are in any way connected or associated with the submission of any photograph for this contest.

* Image Content:
In today's world offending people is very easy. The staff at a Snaggy diMe will review all entries before they are posted on line. We will not accept images that can be considered sexually suggestive, violent or discriminatory in nature. We will also not accept images that are artificially enhanced, are animation or artwork, images that are of poor quality, commercial in nature and those that do not meet the specified format requirements. Images that have won in the past are also not eligible.

* Editing of Images:
a Snaggy diMe reserves the right to modify images for publication by cropping them to fit the print publication. All care will be taken not to misrepresent the intent of the image in the editing process.

Photographs used for the postcard and calendar will carry the store logo and will have a copyright credit given to the photograph's contributor.



* Privacy Policy:
a Snaggy diMe has a standing policy not to disclose customer information to third parties. We will not sell, rent or trade your personal information. In crediting images we will use your first name, last initial and state of residence only.

* How to Submit Entries:
Images may be submitted to us by e-mail at contest@asnaggydime.com or by postal mail at one of the following addresses:

The best vote getters will be accepted for publication.
