2004 Celebration of Guatemalan Adoptions Photo Contest
Update: I wanted to add a couple of things to this post...
1st - YES, you will be contacted about the picture you submitted and whether it will be included in the calendar. I will also be emailing you if there was something that we need to correct about the photo (too small, blurry, etc.) so you will have a chance to resubmit if there is a problem.
2nd - I will post when the calendars and everyone can order as many as they like.
Deadline for photo submittals is October 15th. There will be two calendars available November 1, 2003.
The 2004 Celebration
of Guatemalan Adoptions Monthly Calendar will feature 4 - 6 children per month. It will cost $17
The 2004 Celebration of Guatemalan Adoptions Wall Calendar will
feature a collage of children. it will cost $5
If you would like your child to be featured in one of these Calendars, here's your chance. I'm sorry, but we must require that any children featured in the submitted photos are adopted from Guatemala and the adoption has been finalized. Winners will be featured in the calendar with their first name (or nickname)only, age, city, state and country.
Calendar proceeds will go to site maintenance and expansion. Here's how to enter:
1st - Find a special photo of your little
darling fully clothed. Funny faces, Messy faces, Happy faces...whatever tugs
those heart strings. IMPORTANT NOTE: Studio photos are usually copyrighted by the Studio. Please make sure that the picture you submit is not copyrighted (unless by you;-)
2nd - Make sure the photo is only of the featured child or children (if you have
more than one child adopted from Guatemala).
3rd - Make sure the photo is clear and in color.
4th - Resample (if necessary) so the photo is under 150Kb.

Sounds like a really neat idea. Kelly, do you know if Susana is going to post an update of what's going on. I waited and waited yesterday, but no update has been posted. Trying to remain very optimistic-some days are harder than others.
Thanks for your hard work and caring heart.
RE the calendars: "I hereby certify that the photo I am about to submit is my photo and has never been copyrighted or, if copyrighted, that I am the sole copyright owner. " Does this mean photos taken at a studio (ie WalMart or Sears) cannot be submitted? Thanks.
Posted by: Jill at October 3, 2003 11:06 AMI believe that these chains have copyrights on the photos. I would contact the studio and ask to make sure. But if you are like me, candid shots are just as good. If you need help, use the contact form to the right to contact me!
Posted by: Kelly@guatadopt.com at October 3, 2003 11:41 AMAny updates expected this week...Susana said we could be expecting our children home by Halloween...that is getting very close and NO movement seen by the majority of us...any thing new??? Realize you are all very busy BUT anything even a nothing new would be something!

Let's see, how many shall I order to send to PGN

What are you asking for regarding a deadline for getting the pictures to you? What a great idea? Do you think we would ultimately have them for X-mas?
Thanks.

I wanted to see if my photo went through for the calender? I sent one of three kids..Jake, Madison and Katerina....I did not get any confirmation tht it went through. Can you please let me know.

Posted by: Susanne Stalker at October 14, 2003 10:01 AMWell, I've tried 3 times to send in my baby's photo and it won't go through. Is there a reason why? It's telling me that the "extension" is down contact the "webmaster". Then, it came up with "wrong file extension". Is there any way that this date would be extended so I can get my baby's picture in?
Posted by: TL at October 15, 2003 09:42 PMWhen will you be contacting us as to whether our pictures will be in the calendar? I am worried mine did not go through since i did not get any confirmation.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this post!
