Terms and conditions of The Washington Post Kid’s Room Contest


We want to showcase the best-designed children’s bedrooms in the Washington area. Upload photos to our Web site that show how you’ve fashioned your kid’s room. The bedroom must belong to a child and cannot be decorated by a professional designer, which is someone who makes a portion or all of his or her income from decorating. Decorating materials may include paint, furniture, sheets, artwork, curtains or any other material you like. There will be one grand prize winner who will receive $100 American Express gift check and be featured in an article in The Washington Post's Local Living section. View all details at washingtonpost.com/kidsroomcontest.

No purchase is necessary to enter this contest. This contest is sponsored by WP Company LLC d/b/a The Washington Post ("Sponsor"). Anyone in the United States is eligible to submit photos of his or her bedroom, but the finalists must be residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland or Virginia. Contestants must be 18 years of age or older to enter. One entry per person. Employees, officers, directors and representatives of Sponsor and its affiliates, and those with whom they are domiciled, are not eligible. Void outside of the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland and where prohibited by law. Contest subject to all federal, state and local laws.

The process:

1. Take photos of your stylish kid bedroom from at least three different angles. (Make sure the pictures do not include people or embarrassing personal items that you wouldn’t want the world to see!). Upload no more than five photos as high-resolution JPEGs, five megabytes or smaller, to the Kid Bedrooms user-generated photo gallery. Within the caption box, include a description of your room’s design. In the additional information box, include your name, age, e-mail address, daytime phone number and city and state of residence. The submission period begins Thursday, August 11, 2011, and is limited to one entry per person. All submitted kid bedroom photos and captions may appear online at any time after they have been received at washingtonpost.com/kidsroomscontest starting on or around Thursday, August 11, 2011. Your contact information will not be shown online.

2. Photo submissions are due by Friday, September 23, at 11:59 p.m. ET , but keep your rooms pristine after submission. In the ensuing weeks, the Washington Post Local Living staff and a professional designer will pick at least five finalists based on creativity and skill in execution; a Post staff member or members will visit the finalists to compare the submissions with the actual bedrooms. If the bedrooms are approved by the Post staff, the finalists will enter an online voting system where readers will vote to determine the Readers’ Choice Winner. Finalists also will become eligible to be the grand prize winner, which will be selected by the contest judges. Decisions of the judges are final and cannot be appealed. By entering, you authorize The Post to publish photos of your child’s bedroom and the caption you wrote, and to identify you as the entrant with those photos.
