CONTEST: NewCanaanite.com Seeks Most Creative ‘Prom-posals’

NewCanaanite.com is happy to announce our first annual “Prom-posal” Photo Contest. Here’s how it works (see rules below):

•

  Why: In recent years, high school students have found new and inventive ways to ask dates to the prom and posting these “prom-posals” on social media.

• What: NewCanaanite.com will reward the most creative NCHS proposals—one for Junior Prom, one for Senior Prom—with a $50 gift certificate that’s good at dozens of New Canaan businesses.
• How: Entries can be submitted to terry@newcanaanite.com — a photo or video with a short blurb about the proposal, including the names and emails (for confirmation) of the asker and “askee.” A panel convened by the New Canaanite editors will judge the best entries based on creativity, humor and originality.
• When: Junior Prom entries are due at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 29. Senior Prom entries are due at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 13.

Rules:

  No vulgar, dangerous or otherwise inappropriate entries will be considered.

• You must use your real name when submitting as well as the intended date’s name, with a valid email for each so that we can confirm both parties want to enter.
• File format for photos must be jpeg or png.
• If a video file is too big to email, you can DropBox it.
• Once the photo is submitted, you are granting us the right to publish it.
• Participants cannot do anything that disrupts the educational environment or violates school policy or the law, on school grounds or anywhere else.

Good luck!

Mike & Terry
