CONTESTS

Advice for Life- what kinds of advice are you looking for?

In a word: good. We aren't looking for any type of advice in particular, just advice that you believe will benefit our members.

Can I submit more than one entry and win multiple times?

Yes! The more you enter the better chance you have to win and the more you can possibly win. We don't limit the number of entries or the number of times a member can win. If your entries are determined to be "prize worthy" you win!

How can I be featured on the WOW Show?

This unique feature of our “Life’s Beauty” section features the talents of professional and talented amateur photographers. We present their work in a unique manner that members will enjoy and make them say “Wow!” We include information about the photographer and a link to their Website in case you would like to see more of their work.

If you would like your photography to be featured in the WOW Show, just go to the “Contact Us” section and e-mail us a request along with some information about you and some samples or a link to your photos so we can see your work.

How can I view past Caption Contest winners?

The best are turned into Life Cards. Go to the Life Cards section and click on the “Caption Contest” category.

How do I enter a contest?

Our “Care, Share & Win” section allows members to submit Life Lesson entries, photo entries, caption contest entries, and contributions to all our sections. While the Life Lessons prizes are the largest, we reward members with a gift subscription for anything we use on the site.

May I give the scholarship prize to someone else?

One of the prizes you may choose as a winner of a Life Lesson contest is a $1,000 scholarship and yes, you can give it to someone else. If you win a Life lesson contest and choose the $1,000 scholarship as your prize, the check will be made out jointly to the recipient of your choice and the school he or she is attends or plans to attend.

Are there maximum word counts for entries?

No, but keep in mind that one of the key elements for judging is “How enjoyable, moving or insightful is the entry for our members?

How does the Life Lesson contest work?

If you see one of our Life Lessons and want to expand on it or offer your own Life Lesson on the same subject, just submit your entry on our Care, Share and Win page. There are no deadlines and you can enter as many times as you like. If we choose your Life Lesson as a winner, we will feature it on the site and you will receive your choice of $250 cash, $500 charitable contribution to a charity of your choice, or a $1,000 scholarship that can be used by you or a friend or family member.

What is the deadline for entries for Life Lessons?

No deadlines! You may submit an entry at any time on any subject covered in a Life Lesson, or submit your own unique Life Lesson. All Life Lessons along with winning entries from other members may be accessed from the Life Lessons page.

What are the rules for the contests?

You can see our full contest rules on the Care, Share and Win page. But, in a nutshell, anything you submit should be your own original work, or you should have a license or permission to use the submission.

Can contests have multiple winners?

Yes! Contests can have multiple winners. We aren't pitting LAB members against each other, we are simply asking that you share and contribute to the site for the enjoyment of other members. If we have more than one submission that we believe should be rewarded, then we will reward you.

Are contest prizes transferable?

Yes. If you supply a winning entry and want to give your prize to someone else, just tell us who to send the prize to and we will do so. For example, if your son or friend is going to college and can use some extra money for the college fund, we will make out the college scholarship check to the school they will be or are attending.
