Contest rules
No purchase necessary. Open to Utah residents. A parent, grandparent or guardian enters for anyone under 18. One entry per artist. Entries are due by 11:59 PM Mountain Time on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Every entry is reviewed before it appears in the gallery, and entries may be left out if they aren't appropriate for a family audience. Sending an entry gives permission to show the photo here and in the voting album on my Facebook page with the artist's first name and age only. The photo with the most likes in each age group in the Facebook album at 11:59 PM on October 29 wins; a tie goes to a random drawing between the tied entries. Winners are contacted by the message or email they entered with and must reply by Friday, November 6, or the next entry in that age group wins. Prizes: one $25 Boondocks gift card for ages 5 and under, one $25 card for ages 6 to 10, and one $50 card for ages 11 and up. This contest is run by Delia Bayna, and is not sponsored, endorsed or run by Facebook, Instagram or Meta. See the privacy policy for how entry details are used.
