2011 Christmas Pictures and Videos Contest

Go directly to the Christmas pictures contest submission form below...

Hi Folks,

I'm Qing, one of the folks who go all-out with the Christmas decorations and holiday fun ( The Rudolph on the left is not me! He is my nephew at the Officer Christmas Party last year...).

It's always loads of fun coming up with a special Christmas holiday that's creative and memorable (and that no one else has...).

Once the holiday is over, however, all that energy and all those ideas usually just dwindle away.

And, of course, the many photos snapped at any Christmas holiday somehow find their way into a forgotten folder on our computer's hard drive or hidden inside a photo album somewhere.

So why let all that creative energy go to waste?!

Your Christmas pictures deserves
more than just one day of glory!

We really want to Share your favorite Christmas photos & stories with us by entering our contest. We are offering great prizes to the lucky winners:

• One (1) Grand Prize winner will receive $50 in gift card to purchase psychis reading service on psychicsource.com
• Three (3) Runner Up prize winners will receive three $15 gift cards for TheSantaVideo.com.

More information about our contest prizes and winners of 2009 and 2010.

Our contest is a fair game as we use outside judges. Also we'll line up a handful of judges and then tally their results.

 

If you're submitting just an idea ( such as a party game, invitation design or just the tree decoration) and not a complete story, select from the drop-down list below and you'll be taken to the appropriate submission form:

 

choose a category for you Christmas ideas... Any cool Christmas lights video? Do you have a #1, absolute cool Christmas party idea? Do you know a hilarious video of the famous "Last Christmas"? What really says, "Merry Christmas!" on your Christmas tree? Creative Christmas decoration capture your top "Magic Moment"? What is the funny Christmas card design you've made? Any unique Christmas gift ideas?

 

Or if you're submitting a complete Chrismas story, even if you have a general story about your Christmas party that does not fit into any of the categories above, follow the Submission Guidelines below (the form is at the bottom of this page). We will convert it into a Web page, just like the cute Christmas pictures and ideas below.

There are a few things you should know before submitting a complete Christmas story or a "Holiday Party Tale":

• Submit BOTH IDEAS AND PHOTOS: Try writing up a complete story as in the examples provided here:

The Cactus Crew

Terry's Dog Chrismtas Photo

 

• Detailed Writeup: When you write the ideas, just let them flow without worrying about editing them. The more info you share, the easier it'll be for others to enjoy and find inspiration from your ideas.
  
• Your Photos: Photos bring your ideas to life and add a personal flavor to this world of cyber anonymity. Send as many photos as you'd like - but make sure you choose the coolest ones.
  
• Accompanying Files: Also send any accompanying graphics, invitations, coloring pages, etc... that you've used and that you think will help others in planning and carrying out their own Christmas party.
  
• Submit a Video: If you have a short video clip from your Holiday party and you think that it'll in some way upload it to any other video-sharing site (like YouTube) and send us the link. Make sure the clip can be embedded so we can feature it on the site alongside the photos.
• Each photo must be original - yours, a family member's, etc...
  
• Christmas party ideas must be written in your own words and not copied from any other source.
