Hallmark Greeting Card Competition – Your Funny*Ness

For years people have asked to submit card designs to Hallmark, and, this is your chance!

You can see the finalists from the first contest and buy their cards, too! There are some great ones.

This time, you get to make your pets the star of the show.

Send in your funniest, most endearing, cutest, or most creative pet photos, along with a corresponding “birthday” greeting, which will be judged, and the winners, turned into actual greeting cards.

Sixty-seven finalists will have the opportunity to have their cards printed and sold to the public and win cash prizes.

In addition to being sold in stores, the grand prize winner’s card will be available for sale at hallmark.com for at least a year and may become part of another card collection!

The winner will win $1,000 plus a trip to Hallmark (it’s tons of fun, I’ve been!) with their pet for a professional photo shoot and workshop with Hallmark’s creative team.

Be sure to check the rules and details of the contest, and win the chance for your pet to be a star on a Hallmark card!

Hurry, contest ends February 3rd, 2008.
