Ok. For real now ... I promise

Almost every culture, country, and family has its own way of honoring and celebrating motherhood and fatherhood. We would like you to share with us images that represent some of these traditions and customs or capture some of these moments.

ok, what percentage of people who are members of StockXpert are aware that this was announced? the only reason i know about it is because i happened to read this post... i never frequent the StockXpert home page or the forums only rarely... the only page i view on a daily basis at any of the sites i belong to is the page that shows me the current downloads and i'll bet there's a large percentage of folks who are like me and will never know about these contests.

if a site wants me to know something important, they should email me - i read my email.

am i the only one?

That gives you a better chance to win the price

maunger,

Are you an StockXpert newsletter subscriber? I plan on announcing it in the newsletter, which goes out this week.

I also thought about other ways to get the word out. We could definitely blast the contributors with an e-mail. I will talk to Peter about it.

Thanks!
-Steve

Too bad that even if I decide to try and submit, everything will be "not what they are looking for" just like everything I submit with iStock has phantom "artifacting"

I've told them to go easy on that rejection reason for the contest.

Just make sure your entries have "parentingcomp" as a keyword, and the word "CONTEST" is the last word in the title.

If anyone has any questions, just let me know.

Thanks and good luck!

-Steve

I really do recommend signing up for the newsetter. We are coordinating the contests around the newsletter schedule. Plus the newsletter sometimes has new developments and site news that even I don't know about.

If you are not already signed up, go to My Account --> Profile --> and click on the newsletter box under "5. E-mail and message settings."

Thanks!
-Steve

Just want to remind you that the April contest comes to a close in a few days. To ensure that your entries are reviewed before the May 4 deadline, please make sure "CONTEST" is the last word in the title of your image.

Also, all entries are required to have "parentingcomp" as a keyword.

More info ... http://www.stockxpert.com/forum.phtml?f=showtopic&n=2190

Thanks and good luck!
