I always like to include a number of previous entries that exemplify what a ” good picture” should look like. Bright, crisp, sharp, at least 400 x 600, ideally taken during natural daylight. If you have an iPhone,  the portrait setting is a wonderful setting if you are shooting a vignette picture. It pays to take the time to submit a really good picture.

And please before you do, look at your picture next to these below (in terms of quality) and please be sure they are comparable in quality/size.

And a  few general suggestions-

1. Most pictures look their best in natural day light with no lights or reflections of bulbs
2. Every picture has to be at least 400 x 600
3. Send only your finished cropped shot, we do not do any editing
4. Cannot submit a previous entry
5. Picture cannot be taken from the internet, must be your own
6. Try to take pictures in bright light and be careful with mirrors as they often catch reflections of bulbs, etc…
7. Clarity and sharpness matter, please do not send a blurry or out of focus pictures
8. As long as you picture has an item from Enchanted Home in it, it is eligible for submission
9. If the picture does not have an item purchased at Enchanted Home, it is not eligible
10. You will get a confirmation either way to confirm if your picture has been accepted or will be offered the chance to submit another
