We will not under any circumstances tolerate bad sportsmanship.  Please understand that photo contest are a competition, meaning someone wins and many other will lose. This is a fact. We will not answer any emails complaints period.

******

Scores are not given out. We trust our judges and by entering our contest(s) you are placing your trust in our judges. We have been successfully running contests for years and have this down to a science. There are many contests to choose from, this is how we choose to run ours.

*******

We do this for fun, as a hobby. Although we run mostly pay contests WE do not make anything. We are the middle man. We take in the money and redistribute it to the winners. All of the work that comes with the contest is done for free.  We do this because we enjoy it and you enjoy it.  Please be considerate of our time and allow us the time to do our jobs properly. This means time to post photos and post winners.

RE: Natural Photos. We here at Jellybeans DO NOT consider basic photo editing against the rules. We know all photos can benefit from lightening/brightening/red-eye removal. We encourage you to buy or download a basic editing program and learn it. You will be amazed at the FREE/INEXPENSIVE resources you can find on the web that will help improve your photos.
 

******

We also encourage your to push yourself to your photography limits. This does not mean expensive cameras or equipment. This means taking the time to set up a "photo shoot" with your child and trying to get the best photos possible. Again, there are countless sites online dedicated to helping out with your photography skills.

******

Please ask all questions prior to entering as there are no refunds for any reason.

Have Fun! Have Fun! Have Fun!
