Why are you asking me to register?

Registration ensures that a person votes, and prevents someone from writing a computer script to allow multiple votes.

Why can't I submit a photo?

The submission period for the Sweetheart photo contest ends Friday, Jan. 29 at noon OR until we reach a 1,000 photo limit. Once the 1,000 photo limit is reached, the contest closes to submissions. Please click here for our complete contest rules.

How can I find a specific photo?

We do not provide a link to specific photos. We want people to view all eligible entries before making a decision. The up to 1,000 photos submissions will be displayed for popular voting by using a series of 5 consecutive rounds, each featuring up to 200 of the up to 1,000 eligible photos. A new round of voting is featured each day, Monday-Friday, beginning at 10 a.m. and ending at 9 a.m. the next day. Voting period for these 5 rounds: Begins February 1 at 10 a.m. and ends February 6 at 9 a.m. Please click here for our complete contest rules.
