Thank you to Anna, Lauren, Sabine, Mckenna and Hanna for submitting photos to the "NPIDA Halloween and Oireachtas Photo Contest"! (No one submitted Halloween photos; all entries are photos that were taken at the Oireachtas).

All dancers who submitted any number of photos had their name entered one time in the prize draw (Hanna is ineligible for the prize). Here's the draw for the winner:

4 names ready to be folded and put in the hat...

Names in the hat; give it a shake...

Reach high to pull out one name...

Lauren is the random winner of the photo contest!

CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!!!
Hanna will deliver your prize in class this week.

Thank you everyone for your patience this past week while my computer was in for repairs. All back to normal now.

Halloween and Oireachtas Photo Contest!

It's time for another NPIDA Photo Contest! In order for all NPIDA dancers to again have an opportunity to submit photos, this contest will accept photos taken during NPIDA Halloween events and/or the Oireachtas.

1. All photos must have been taken by NPIDA dancers only. No exceptions!

2. Maximum of 5 photo submissions per dancer. Take lots of photos and then submit your best shots!

3. Photos must be taken at an NPIDA Halloween event or the 2012 Oireachtas:
- during NPIDA classes the week of Halloween. (Later this month Nora will specifiy which dates costumes can be worn to class). 
- during the October 27 NPIDA Halloween Movie Night/Haunted House.
- during the weekend of the Oireachtas in Calgary.

4. Identifiable people in your photos MUST only be NPIDA dancers and/or family members. This is an ongoing policy of this blog, for privacy reasons.

5. Photo submissions will not be "judged". Every dancer who submits a photo will have their name entered in the random draw for a prize: a $25 iTunes gift card and an extra small surprise. (Your name will be entered once, whether you submit 1-5 photos). Thank you to EBIDS for the iTunes card donation!

6. All photo contest entries must be e-mailed to pickettlineblogAThotmail.com no later than midnight on Saturday November 17.

Notes:
- Don't have your own camera ? If your parents have one, ask if you can borrow it to take some photos for the contest.

- Please; no blurry or really low-resolution photos (for example from older-model cell phones). High resolution photos are best.

- All entries that meet the above criteria will be posted on the blog. The winning photo, if reasonably high resolution, will be included in the 2013 Ceili Slide Show!

- Parents: Please encourage your dancers of all ages to take some photos and submit them to the contest!
