Learning's Our Life! PHOTO CONTEST!

Homeschooling families are great at taking pictures - lots of pictures of field trips, projects, and just family fun. Just about everything you do is a learning experience - like the Notaro children on our cover this month - visiting an apple orchard is a fun learning experience.

Enter our “cover” photo cover and if your photo is selected, it will appear on the cover of Home Educator’s Family Times and on our web site too. Deadline for entries is November 30, 2007. Each family may enter up to three photos. Good quality prints must be in color and measure at least 8 inches wide by 10 inches high. Digital photos (on CD or by email) are welcome but must be at least 300 dpi in resolution and their print size must also measure at least 8 inches wide by 10 inches high. Up to 8 finalists will be selected. All winners will receive a $50 U.S. Savings Bond and their photo will appear on the covers of upcoming Home Educator’s Family Times. Families will be notified by December 15.

Include your name, address, telephone number and email address. Also include a short description of the photo. If you would like print photography returned, please include a correct sized envelope with correct return postage. Send all entries to Home Educator’s Family Times, Learning’s Our Life!, P.O. Box 6442, Brunswick, Maine 04011. Photos (proper resolution jpegs) may also be emailed to: famtimes@blazenetme.net. Please remember to include all contact information in the body of your email message when sending photos by email. The file should be zipped if it is larger than 5MB.
