UPDATE: Thanks to all who participated in FTD's Give Thanks $5,000 Photo Contest. The entry period is now over.  Stay tuned as we determine the winners.  More to come on that over the next week.

 

Got a photo and a story of what you're most thankful for?  Then share it in FTD's Give Thanks Photo Contest for a chance to win $5,000 in your Upromise account!  That's right, five big ones is the top prize and then $3,000 will go to the second place winner followed by $2,000 for third place.  Not too shabby!

 

Here's what you need to do:

 

-  First, be sure to read the complete contest rules attached below.

- Then slide on over to the contest page and submit a photo* of something you want to give thanks to along with a caption of 100 words or less describing the photo.

- Next, vote for a contest entry other than your own by clicking on the "Credits!" button.

 

And here's what will happen next:

 

The ten entries that receive the highest number of votes (or credits) between now and 11:59:59 ET on November 30, 2009 will be the finalists.  And an internal panel of judges will then select a winner, to be announced on or about December 21, 2009.

 

Check out the contest gallery here to view the pics and enter your own for a chance to win $5,000!

 

*Once you're on the contest page, click the "New Entry" button as shown below to enter

the contest.

I am thankful for my kids. I was a single parent for many years. I attended all their school functions wether they were intended for a mom or a dad. I was trying to teach them to always reach for the sky in all they did, and all the while they were teaching me with their humor, intensity, sillyness, selfishness, and most of all their beautiful hearts.

I am thankful for my nephew Jay.  Jay is an amazing kid who always goes to bat not only for me but for his family, friends, and the earth.  He reminds me how truly special life is by his enthusiasm and kindness.  He holds a very special place in my heart especially since I do not have any children of my one and I am enoumorously thankful for Jay being Jay.  He brings joy to everyone around him and reminds us all how thankful we should be.

Before entering photos be sure you understand that you will not own them anymore! Even if you don't win!

 

Check the rules:

 

"Entry in this Contest constitutes Entrant’s irrevocable assignment, conveyance and transference to the Upromise of any and all right, title and interest in the Entry.  All Entries and materials submitted become the property of the Upromise and will not be acknowledged or returned. "

 

 

It's a sleazy way to spend just five grand and get the rights to a bunch of great photos they now own and can use FOR ANY PURPOSE THAT WANT. It would have costs tens of thousands more to pay professional photographers.
