Photo Contest: How to Submit and Rules

I've always said that I would never ever in a million years offer a contest on Facebook.
I am now eating my words :(
With it being so cold, taking photos is just not happening right now, but I'm looking for a way to keep my clients and friends of clients and potential clients engaged in Skelton Photographie.
The way to get that done?
Facebook contest. Yes, I'm eating my words. Do not remind me.

So, here goes with the contest.
The theme is love. I mean, Valentines Day is coming up, after all.
Your photos can contain anything you love: your kids, other kids, dogs, pets in general, landscapes, leaves, shoes...anything you love (within the realm of it being acceptable to post to Facebook.)

How to submit a photo:
To submit your photo, email it to skeltonphotographie@yahoo.com
In the subject line, please put: "Photo Challenge: The Name of Your Photo."
I will email you back and confirm that I received the photo and then post it to the album on Facebook: Photo Challenge 2014. I may not post it immediately, but all submissions will be posted the day they are submitted.

Contest Rules:
- All photos must be yours - meaning you had to take the actual photo. If you submit another photographers family photo of you, I cannot use it, based on copyright laws.
- Photos can be taken with your cellphone, DSLR...whatever you have on hand.
- Before you submit a photo, you must like Skelton Photographie on Facebook. If you submit a photo and have not yet liked Skelton Photographie, your photo will not be entered into the contest.
- TELL YOUR FRIENDS !!!

The Prize:
The winner will receive a FREE 16*20 print of their submitted photo.
Most people have photos taken throughout their lifetime, yet never find the time to print them off. That is what this contest is all about. Printing off photos that you love.  

How the Winner Will Be Chosen:
All photos will be posted in an album on Facebook. Share the album and the contest. Tell your friends to like your photos. Each photo with over a certain number of likes (depending on how large the contest gets) will be subjected to a random drawing. The winner will be announced via Facebook. 


**Selfies are NOT accepted. I understand that you may love yourself, and good for you, but this is a legitimate contest. If selfies are your thing, please migrate over to Instagram and have yourself a field day.

If there are questions, or anything I have left off, let me know!
Email is best!! skeltonphotographie@yahoo.com
