We are holding a photo contest this month – it begins today! Photo contests are very special to me. So much love goes into making our diapers
and wool, and so much love comes back to us through your beautiful photos. Thank you in advance for sharing them with
us!!
Here are the photo contest details:
The contest will be open for submissions from today, 11/8,
through Sunday 11/25. That gives you
exactly 17 days to get your entries in!
It is a shorter window than we usually give, so don’t put off taking
those photos if you want yours to be included in the contest! :) The winners will be announced on Wednesday, November
28th, at 10pm EST. Please read below for important details on how to win. There
will be a first place and a second place winner as follows:
- First place takes home their choice of:
(a) a FREE custom twinkie tush
diaper of their choice (based on availability of desired fabric, and SYOF is of
course an option as well). Shipping of the diaper is also free. (Please note
that the custom diaper will ship 4-6 weeks after a final print decision is made
or SYO fabric is received.)
OR
(b) an ULTIMATE Dibs Pass, which
entitles them to select a single diaper during previews and take it home FREE,
with free shipping as well. This
ULTIMATE Dibs Pass would be valid on any preview day in December 2012. (Please note that occasionally there is a
print offered that is not able to be claimed by a dibs pass.) More info about Dibs Passes is below.
- Second place winner will be given the opportunity to
choose between:
(a) an individual custom slot
(priced at $36 for SYOF or within our normal pricing structure for an in stock
print, with FREE shipping. (Please note
that the custom diaper will ship 4-6 weeks after a final print decision is made
or SYO fabric is received.)
OR
(b) a standard Dibs Pass which will
allow them to select a single diaper to purchase at regular price on any one
preview day in December 2012 without having to attend the stocking. This prize also includes free shipping!
(Please note that occasionally there is a print offered that is not able to be
claimed by a dibs pass.) More info about
Dibs Passes is below.
- We will also draw an additional standard Dibs Pass winner at random
from all photo contest participants at the close of the contest! (This random.org Dibs Pass entitles the
recipient to claim a diaper during previews and purchase it prior to stocking
at regular price and with regular associated shipping costs. This random.org Dibs Pass will be valid on
any one preview day in December 2012.)
So now that we’ve covered prizes, here is the process:
To enter, simply submit a photo of your little one(s) in a
twinkie tush diaper or twinkie tush wool. Hair clips and headbands by Hello
Charlotte James for twinkie tush, twinkie tush/Hazelbee dress collaborations
and/or T shirts by Peanut & Pumpkin for twinkie tush are of course welcome
to be part of the photos, however a twinkie tush diaper or twinkie tush woolies
must be featured.
Feel free to be as creative as possible - extra
consideration will always be given for creativity! (Try to play off the
"theme" of your diaper or woolies - you can use accessories and props
to really amp it up - a guitar, an alien toy, a bouquet of flowers....) A
simple approach is fine as well - creativity is just one of the things that
will be considered.
Photos can be sent to photocontest@twinkietush.com. By
submitting a photo you are giving twinkie tush permission to use your photo to
promote or represent twinkie tush diapers and/or twinkie tush wool on this
blog, the twinkie tush shop on Hyena Cart, the soon to be launched
twinkietush.com, twinkie tush advertisements on HC and elsewhere, and the
twinkie tush facebook pages. Please do
not submit a photo if you do not agree to these terms. :)
Submissions will be closed on Sunday 11/25/12 at 11:59pm
EST. On Monday 11/26 we will upload all submissions to a photo album on the
main twinkie tush facebook page called "November 2012 photo contest!"
At that point, the contest really gets exciting!
First place will be awarded to the photo *in the "November
2012 photo contest" album* that we feel best reflects the spirit of
twinkie tush and the spirit of the individual diaper(s) pictured. Creativity,
photo composition, brand reflection and of course FUN are some of the things
that will be considered. :) Mike and I will choose the first place winner, and
we will announce the winner at 10pm EST on Wednesday, November 28th.
Second place will go to the photo in the "November 2012
photo contest" album that receives the most "likes". Please note that "likes" on photos
outside of the specified album will not count as votes for that photo. You, and
your friends and family, may "like" multiple photos if you choose
(you don't have to pick just one). Comments are welcome of course, but will not
count towards a photo's "tally". Since it is possible to
"like" and then "unlike" something on facebook, we will go
with the count as it is at exactly 10pm EST on Wednesday, November 28th.
An important note: you cannot win both first and second
place ;) While the number of "likes" a photo has will neither ensure
a first place win nor preclude it from taking said prize, fan feedback is
something that Mike and I may take into consideration to at least some extent
in making our decision on a first place winner. In the event that we choose the
"highest likes" photo for first place, that photo is no longer
eligible to take a second place win. In other words if photo A has the highest
number with 200 likes and photo B has 199 likes, and we choose photo A as our
first place winner, second place will go to photo B. If we choose photo B, or
any other photo in the album, as our first place winner, second place will go
to photo A. Please feel free to ask
questions about this if it is at all unclear! :)
Please note that only one (1) first place and one (1) second
place prize will be awarded. Should you
collaborate with another family to enter a submission you would need to settle
the allocation of the prize between yourselves in the event that you win.
Please note that you may enter only one (1) photo per
household for this contest. Also note that photos must clearly show your
twinkie tush diaper(s) and/or twinkie tush wool and must not be offensive in
any way (obviously). Please send full size/high res images rather than
"email" or "thumbnail" sizes.
If there is a problem with your submission you will receive
an email response with suggestions on how to resubmit if applicable. If your
submission is accepted you will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours.
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 48 hours please email again
to confirm receipt, in case for some reason your initial email did not come
through successfully.
We are looking forward to your submissions! Thanks so much!!
:)
More about Dibs Passes
How do you use your Dibs Pass? A Dibs Pass is a way to
bypass the stocking itself – you need only comment on a preview photo on
facebook by 10pm EST on preview day with something to the effect of “I am going
to use my dibs pass for one of these diapers”, and then follow up with an email
to info@twinkietush.com so that we can show you specific cuts and/or velour
options, if applicable. You will then check out with a private link. (Certain
prints may not be claim-able via Dibs Pass or Ultimate Dibs Pass and that will
be stated during previews. Additionally with certain prints only one Dibs Pass
may be used, on a first come first served basis. Again that will be stated
along with the preview photos. )
Standard Dibs Passes offer no discount on the claimed diaper. The retail price and associated shipping
costs will be due upon checkout (unless free shipping is specified along with
the prize). A Dibs Pass entitles you to
claim a single diaper for purchase within the date parameters given above.
About the Ultimate Dibs Pass:
The Ultimate Dibs Pass is like a regular Dibs Pass, but
entitles the winner not just to claim a diaper for purchase, but to take it
home for free. The process for using the
pass is the same, but rather than checking out with a private link you will
simply supply your shipping address. An
Ultimate Dibs Pass entitles you to claim a single diaper at no cost within the
date parameters given above.
Dibs passes are non-transferable and hold no monetary value.
