Don’t Just Think about the Big Picture: Win It!

Hey kids! The SnackHound is hosting a great blog giveaway. In my spare time, I am not just a writer, but a photographer. I like capturing the slice of life…literally…but I also have taken many of the photos that appear on this blog. Unfortunately, my local copy shop just doesn’t offer large format prints or poster printing. Maybe I will just make a big poster of my salt and pepper shakers. Maybe not.

You probably have a far better idea. So, I am pleased to be offering my readers a chance at winning a 16×20 poster print of whatever you like. If you live in the US or Canada, you will receive the print free of charge. If you live internationally, you will just merely pay shipping. A fair deal, I say!

Of course, the stipulation would be that you have to supply the photo. Since it involves online poster printing, you will not have to mail a thing. It is merely an upload. No, you will not win a photo of The SnackHound (either the snack receptacle of to find out what I really look like. If that were to occur, I suggest you use it as a Halloween decoration.)

There are two ways to enter:
1) Leave me a comment on this post telling me how you would use your 16×10. What would you print? Why?

2) Write about my giveway, linking back to this post and to http://www.Uprinting.com. This means that you have a chance to win, even if you don’t have a blog or website, and you also have a chance at more than one entry.

The winner will be selected totally and completely randomly by Hal 9000, the evil computer. That is a photo of Hal’s eyeball, at right. He has been extra surly since I switched to a Mac. I decided to host this contest, in part, to give him something to do around here. Please make him proud, and enter. It certainly is a far more attractive alternative than giving him nothing to do, and then blaming me for when he is bored and takes over the world.

Let the games begin!

Last entry must be time stamped by 8:00 P.M., May 22nd, 2009. Good luck!

I would Love Love Love to do a poster of one of my Lili picture collages. Photography is a favorite pastime of mine, too, and it would be so cool to have a poster I could frame and put up on one of my all-too-bare walls!

I have a photo of Daisy, my tweenie doxie, that I love. A poster of her on my wall behind the computer would give me at least several smiles a day.

Brooke Welch Says:

I would do a montage of all my fave photos of my 3 boys just larger then I have them now and get it frames and put it in a place of honor in either my craft room or the living room. Or I might just pick one or two and have those put on there, I have LOTS of ideas but probably my top 3-6 fave pics in a montage.

Nathan Gray Says:

This is an exciting offer,because of the huge amount of freedom we have to pick something we’d like printed…
and yet…
I can only think of one thing that I truly want to see a massive 16×20 print off…
and that is a picture of my beloved and eternally lovely girlfriend.

And NO everybody, I am NOT Nathan’s girlfriend so he is not sucking up!

I would love to have a print of my Speedy, he means so much to me and has saved me in so many ways. He had a bigger than life attitude which makes him such a big inspiration to me. I know it sounds cheesy but it is so true and with out him needing me and being his bratty self I would have fallen apart so many times.

Robyne Gioco Says:

I would print a photo of all of The Gioco Zoo. I have 2 doxies and 2 kitties and it is so rare that the 4 of them can be photographed together that I would want to blow it up to a 16×10 and stare at my fur-kids together every day and show it off to friends and family. Hey, some people print giant pics of their kids, I want a giant pic of my fur-kids. I would have it framed and displayed over my fireplace. Now…Hals’ eyeball…pick me! pick me! (Oh, and Hal…I agree with you buddy…PC’s are so much better than Macs. heehee).

thesnackhound Says:

Oh Robyne, there will be no buttering up Hal. He doesn’t understand sarcasm, nor does he experience sympathy. He may think you are laughing at him, and not at your joke. Of course, he is not emotionally damaged by it, he just simply does not compute.
