2008 Hopkins Summer Road Trip Contest

[Admin]

Win Signing Time prizes by ‘showing’ us that Hopkins went with you on your summer vacation.
Here’s what to do:



First, you will need to download and print out the picture of Hopkins (http://signingtime.net/pdf/st/contest/hopkinsisland.pdf). You can color or decorate him however you want!
Second, take him with you on vacation. While you are there, take a picture of you and Hopkins somewhere interesting. (If you don't go anywhere special, you can still enter - just take him with you grocery shopping or to the park - the point is you need to get his picture somewhere...)
Lastly, submit your entry (information provided below)

What is my entry judged on?
We have cool prizes for several different categories, including:


Best decorated Hopkins (glitter, ribbon, buttons, glue - you decide what looks best!)

Ages 0-4
Ages 5-8
Ages 9-12
13 and older (Parents, this is your chance to get in on the fun with your children)

Most unusual location (hmm, perhaps Hopkins on an airplane watching Signing Time with the flight attendant?)
Furthest distance traveled (as measured from your home - but YOU have to be with him in the picture - you can't just mail him by himself!)

What prizes can I win?



First prize in each category gets a $50 Signing Time gift certificate.
Second place gets a $10 Signing Time Gift certificate.

How to Submit your Entry:

Entries must be received by September 1, 2008.

Of coure I put this off to the last minute.....

1. If a person is entering the 'Best Decorated' category, is it possible to take 2 pictures and do a "before" and "after" type of thing? I would put the two pictures into one picture though.

2. If we are entering the best decorated and have a theme, do you acually have to "do" the theme?? For example, lets say you decorate Hopkins swimming. Do you HAVE to go swimming?

Hope that makes sence!
Thanks

No, we just need the picture of the decorated Hopkins.
