Hallmark Announces Blooper Photo Card Creation Contest

A hilarious photo and a witty birthday wish could land a talented photographer on a Hallmark card!

Hallmark is now accepting submissions for the company's "yourBloopers" greeting card creation competition. "YourBloopers" is a laugh-out-loud card creation contest. The 60 finalists' designs will be sold in more than 10,000 stores nationwide this summer.

From Jan. 12-Feb. 1, Hallmark will accept submissions online at http://www.hallmark.com/you. Hallmark judges are looking for cards that have photos and writing that work well together, could be sent to many different people and are laugh-out-loud-in-the-card-aisle funny. Each eligible photo must be funny, intriguing and in a vertical format. Wording inside the card should wish the recipient a happy birthday.

"This is our fifth card competition," notes Hallmark editorial director Sarah Mueller. "We're finding people have really funny photos that seem to be meant for a greeting card, so this is an opportunity to pair a great photo with a hilarious birthday wish."

Sixty finalists will be selected and announced in March. Hallmark will select 60 finalists, produce their cards and sell the cards online at http://www.hallmark.com, in Hallmark Gold Crown(R) stores and in other stores that carry Hallmark products. America will then vote for the best of the 60 finalists. The grand prize winner will receive $2500 and the opportunity to be a celebrity judge on an upcoming greeting card competition.
