It's a photo contest! Yay!

Even though it starts getting chilly, Fall is an exciting time full of changes and new things; the leaves are turning colour, the kids have gone back to school, and Mountain Baby has a brand new website!

To celebrate the time of year and the launch of the new and improved mountainbaby.com, we're holding our very first “Mountain Baby of the Season” contest. We want you, our valued customers, to join in the fun. So, we are happy to announce:

The Mountain Baby of the Season Contest!


The theme:

It's fall. Crisp cool air, leaves turning colour, back to school or starting school, and HALLOWEEN!


What to do and how it works:

Send us your favourite photos that celebrate your children and the season. Submit as many as you want, just be sure to include a caption with your children’s first names, ages, and the location (city, province/state, country). Send photos to Craig, our web administrator, by November 5, 2009 at craig@mountainbaby.com. Please put "Fall photo contest" in the subject line. Entries will be shared on our Flickr group.

Once we receive your photos we’ll place them under one of the following categories. We will have many categories of winners. In fact, no one will lose, because we're a little kids site and want to foster fun and cooperation. So we will take your entry and place it in one of the following winning categories:

1. Just too cute
2. So funny
3. Great costume
4. How silly can you get?
5. Breathtaking
6. Ahhh! AHHH!
7. We're having so much fun!
8. Oh no!
9. In the great outdoors
10. We’re not sure where to put this photo, but we love it!

Judging criteria and prizes:

As long as you and your kids have fun participating in our contest, you’re all winners in our books and we think you deserve a prize!
