The Name-That-Expression Contest

tim chan —  March 17, 2012 — 10 Comments

Welcome to the Name-That-Expression Contest! We have 6 fabulous prizes to give out for the winners of this contest. Why the heck are we running a contest? Mostly for the fun of it. Also because we get bored in between the feeding and diapers and laundry and washing and changing of the baby. And we like giving away stuff.

 

 

Our baby girl has surprised us with a variety of expressions that she displays. We’ve captured many of them on camera and are asking for your help to “name that expression”! You can also submit captions for the photos as well (like this) .

Here are the rules:
1. For every suggested “expression” or caption, you receive one chance to win a prize. You can submit multiple suggestions for each of the 20 photos below (i.e. if you submit 2 suggested expressions for all 20 photos, you will receive 40 chances to win). Only suggestions posted in the comment section of this blog post will count.
2. Contest ends on March 31 at 11:59pm Pacific Time
3. Allie will randomly (or non-randomly, we have no idea how she will choose) draw the winners for the prizes and we will announce this on our website. Winners have 15 days to claim their prize by emailing us.
4. Each person can only win one prize.
5. Olive and I retain the right to change the rules to this contest at any time and for any reason.

What are the prizes?
- 3 Small Prizes: Tim and Olive’s Art book
- 2 Medium Prizes: A choice of any original pieces of art by Tim and Olive currently available at the online store
- 1 Grand Prize: A choice between 1 delicious homecooked meal by Olive served at the Chanpad or 1 commissioned painting by Olive (8″x10″)

We hope you enjoy these photos as much as we do.
