We are taking a break and had pics made so I thought I'd try them out, thought they were great when we got them.
1st contest- didn't even place, lost to a draw on hat or something of the sort
2nd contest- which was glitz placed under a natural snapshot
3rd contest placed in wrong age division, after contest was extended without notice, and didn't even place,still ain't figured that one out

I GIVE UP, LOL, how about you

LOL. I'm not sure about giving up or not.

My daughter loves the contests, and we have waited SO LONG to finally get pro photos, they're not perfect but they're good. The good contests, the ones that I know for sure are good, we don't stand a chance.

I'm fine with loosing if the contest was fair. I'm not fine with loosing in a contest that didn't post all photos, extended deadline, had a special after several entries were already in or makes a drawn on photo win. No way.

Now I understand why most parents don't tell their kids they are entered in contests unless they win/place. My daughter is heartbroken and all I can tell her is that she didnt really loose, she just got ripped off. Doesnt make it better though.
