2012 Coolest Child Birthday Party Ideas Contest

Home » Party Tales Contest Submission Form

 

You've already thrown the Coolest child birthday party. Now, all you need is to tell us about it and you could win $500 in Cash!

 

Submission Deadline - August 15, 2012

 

Behind every child birthday party there's a special story.

A "Party-Tale" full of inspiring ideas and colorful photos that brings your party's story to life.

You've gone to great lengths to throw the coolest party, now it's time to tell (and show) us your very own "Party-Tale". By sending us your Party Tale ideas and photos, you'll be automatically entered into our 2012 Party Tales Contest (we're running contests all the time - for our 2011 Party Tales Contest we gave away $1000 in CASH prizes). This year the Grand Prize for our Party Tales Contest is $500 in Cash and the more submissions we get the more cash prizes we'll be adding.

It's so much fun to win (and we have a tradition of handing out some of the coolest prizes), but more importantly, the energy you invested into throwing your child birthday party will be shared with others and come back right at you when you're in need of a few great ideas. That way, we're all winners!

*Preparing Your Images*

 

Preparing your Party pictures for our gallery will help us get it online faster and also make your party look its best.

Resizing your images: Your party photo will be automatically resized once you upload it. However, we suggest that you crop and resize your images beforehand so that you ensure your party photo looks exactly the way you want it. It's best to resize your photo to 400 pixels width. When resizing the width, make sure to keep the 'aspect ratio' of the height so that the image isn't distorted.

Cropping your images: To crop your image so that your photo is right in the center and as large as can be, you can use your own photo editor (such as Photoshop) or this easy-to-use online photo editor.

Here is an example of an image before and after being cropped:
