Summertime Fun = Contest time!!

Its time for another contest... one of my favorite things! This time I think it would be fun to see your favorite summertime pictures.... pictures of your kids enjoying summer!

This contest will be a little different than the last. Here is how it will work...


How does it work?

All contestants will go through one round of voting. Depending on the number of entries, I will either group kids into groups of 5 or 6 and the winner of each group will move onto Round 2 OR.... the top 3 finalists of the entire Round 1 will move onto Round 2. Either way, there will be 2 rounds and 3 finalists: 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place.

How do you enter?

• Entrants must be children aged 0-10.
• Picture must be of your child/children doing something "summery"... it could be at the pool, playing at the playground, camping, building a sandcastle etc.... Whatever image evokes "summer" to you...
