And now some rules...

1.) Who is eligible to enter the contest?

a.) Guest requirements: Only guests of Lake Country Vacation Rentals are eligible for entry in this contest. All entries will be cross-checked to insure eligibility.

b.) Age requirements: You must be 14 years of age or older to enter the contest. Photos taken by children and young people under this age should have their entries submitted by a parent.

c.) Must be your own photo: If you took the photo yourself, then you have the legal right to enter that picture. If someone else took the photo (i.e. you found it on the internet...or a professional photographer took the shot) then you do not hold the copyright to that picture and it should not be entered.

Please don't submit photos that have already been submitted to other contests or posted on other websites. In the "fine print" of many contests, you give away your copyright to the photo when you enter the picture...which could cause problems in the future for winner's photos posted on this site.

2.) Contest dates for "Snapshots" Photo Contest

You may begin submitting your pictures on May 1, 2012. November 30, 2010 is the last day to enter. Judging will be on December 8th, 2010. A decision will be reached as soon as possible.

Don't be hesitant to enter early! If you take a better picture later, you may submit it later (and drop one of the pictures you don't like as well.) It's better to submit your photo when you're thinking about it. If you forget about the contest later on, you'll be missing your chance to win!

3.) How many photos can be entered?

Enter as many as you like! However, you may only win one prize. If more than one of your vacation photos is being considered by the judges for a prize, then the photo with the highest prize will win, and the secondary photo will be dropped from the judging process.

4.) What can cause photos to be disqualified?

a.) Quality restrictions: Your photo may be disqualified from the contest if it's blurry, too dark, too small to be seen clearly, etc. You will be notified and asked to send a clearer copy of your picture.

b.) Family-friendly restrictions: This is a family website and it's important that readers are not offended by your snapshot. Please do not send photos which are sexually suggestive or explicit. Please do not send pictures which promote gangs, dangerous stunts, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, weapons, hatred nor other harmful activities.

c.) Picture must be taken in Lake Lure, North Carolina: The world is full of wonderful places...but this website is here to promote vacations in Lake Lure, North Carolina! Pictures taken in other countries, although beautiful, will be disqualified from the contest.

5.) How are the prizes awarded?

After the judging period is over, the winners will be announced on this page.

BOOKMARK THIS PAGE!

So that you will remember what website it was where you entered the contest! Then, return in mid-December to check the winner's list.

Winners will be notified by email, so if you're not contacted it probably means you didn't win. However, there are times when people don't respond to their email notification because they've discontinued the email address they used to enter the contest. In that case, it's your responsibility to make sure you aren't one of the winners!

After winners respond to their winning emails they will verify their addresses and then their checks will be mailed to them.
