How to Enter a Contest 

  1. From the contest's main page, click on the "enter now" button.
    Note: If you're not logged in to your account, you'll be asked to log in or create a new account on the next page.
  2. You can either enter a photo that's already in your account, or upload a new photo from your computer.
    • To enter a photo from your account: Click the "select a photo from an existing Snapfish album" link. A new pop-up will open, showing all of your albums. Click the circle next to an album, then "select album." Click on the photo to enter, then "select photo."
    • To upload a new photo: Click the "upload photo button," and a new pop-up will open. Click the "browse" button in the pop-up to find the photo on your computer. Once you've selected it, click the "upload now" button that appears.
  3. Next, enter a title and description for your photo, and the name of your city and state in the fields next to the preview of your photo.
  4. Click the box next to "I agree with contest rules and requirements." You can read the rules and requirements by clicking on the blue link.
  5. Click the "submit" button to enter your photo in the contest.

How to View Contest Entries

  1. From the contest's main page, click on the "view entries" link at the top of the page or the "view more" button.
  2. On the next page, you'll see small previews (thumbnails) of the first page of entries.  Tip: To see larger thumbnails, move the slider in the gray search bar towards the right.
  3. To view the next page of entries, click the "next" button at the right of the page. To view all of the contest's entries on a single page, click the blue "view all" link.
  4. To view an entry larger, click on the thumbnail. From there, you can browse more photos using the "next" and "previous" links just above the photo.
  5. To close a photo entry, click the black "X" at the top right of the pop-up.

How to Search for Contest Entries

From the "view entries" page, you can search all of a contest's photos either by the entrant's name or by the photo's rating.

To search by name:

  1. Enter the person's first and last names in the "first" and "last" fields in the search bar.
  2. Click the "GO" link next to the last name you entered.
  3. All of the photos submitted under the name you entered will display under the gray search bar.

To search by rating:

  1. Click on the blue arrow next to the rating box in the search bar.
  2. Click on the rating (stars) you want to search by, then click the "GO" link next to the rating box.
  3. All of the photos with the rating you chose will display under the gray search bar.

How to Vote for Contest Entries

  1. From the contest's main page, click on the "view entries" link at the top of the page or the "view more" button.
  2. On the next page, you'll see small preview (thumbnails) of the first page of entries. Tip: To see larger thumbnails, move the slider in the gray search bar towards the right.
  3. Click on the thumbnail of the photo you want to vote for.
  4. Roll your cursor over the stars under "vote now," then click on the number of yellow stars you want to give the photo. (For example, five yellow stars mean a five-star rating.)
  5. Once you've voted, your vote rating will show next to the photo. Your vote can't be changed.
