As you sort your scrapbook photos into their themed pages grab a few of those fantastic snapshots and enter them into a free child photo contest. I’ve just been getting around to doing mine as fall rolls in and the evenings get longer. I’ve found a great contest site with monthly themes. I’ve already missed entering some really cute summer fun pictures, but Halloween is my favorite time of year and I am getting ready to load up some truly adorable costumes.
I just love Halloween; the costumes, the decorations, the candy. It doesn’t get much better than make believe on a sugar rush. To sweeten the deal FaerieCon is the very next weekend in Baltimore, so I have even more excuses to assemble fun costumes for myself and my little one. I have more pairs of wings than sunglasses, so the only difficulty is picking which ones to wear and trying to convince my friends to dress up with me.
I had three costumes last year for my son’s first Halloween. I spent hours propping Aiden on the couch in different outfits surrounded by pumpkins and candy. At a mere two months old the challenge was keeping him upright, now the challenge is to catch him. Getting good pictures is a full time endeavor. I may lose my keys on a daily basis but I always know where my camera is.
If Halloween isn’t your thing, there is still a wide variety of other themes to choose from. You can enter those holiday photos at the end of the year and the pictures of your little ones helping you in the kitchen as the year begins. Even if you don’t have more creative display plans for your pictures you can order photo books and other products from the contest websites with the pictures you enter.
In the long run it is actually a time saver, whether you use it to order a quick scrapbook or use the themes to inspire you in more hands on projects. Plus, there is the added bonus of the thrill of the contest with a variety of prizes should your photo win. Enter today, tomorrow, and next year, whenever you have a photo that fits the headline load it up, it’s free, fast, and fun.
