Let your ugly mug do the talking and you'll be able to take part in FMyLife's first photo competition, and win some really fun prizes.
Due to popular demand from a lot of you wonderful people, the competition is now open to people from all over the world, with easier rules.
All you need to do is get a picture taken of you with the FMyLife book* (you can print a picture of the book cover, no need to buy the book to take part in the contest, but no Photoshop or other magic tricks, you must be holding the book cover). However, the thing you must do is pull the nuttiest face possible, the craziest face you can muster in the situation of your choice. Your photo will be published on the website (http://www.fmylife.com/contest/book), and the other users will vote for it (or not!). Go nuts in the picture, have loads of fun!
We've taken some ourselves, to give some examples, all the while telling you that to win, you'll have to do way better, the crazier the situation, set up and picture quality, the better your chances!
The competition will last for 28 days, from the 21st of June to the 23rd of July. You thus have until the 16th of July to upload your picture, so get cracking straight away.
Your photo will be displayed on the website for 7 days, so that all the uploaded photos get the same chances to be voted for. Once the 7 days are up, the photo will stay displayed on the competition page, but you won't be able to vote on it, to guarantee equal chances to all.
You can win some amazing stuff (thanks to Spreadshirt and Villard):
Nobody votes for spammers..
And I love this contest, btw. Lol, some of the faces are pricelesss.

Just thought I'd point out, "The competition will last for 28 days, from the 21th of June to the 23th of July."
It should actually be the 21st to the 23rd of July. Not the th's. Just thought I'd point that out :D
Oh, and I'm really looking forward to voting XD
Ummm.....I accidentally sent the photo I didn't like so I re-sent another photo (the one I thought was better), can you guys ignore the first one?...the one that isn't my profile picture. And yes, I know I look like a total retard! :D
lol I'm glad (if it's the case) that my info about BNN helped n_n I was wondering if we could have more than one person in the picture??? My boyfriend and I LOVE this site! haha It would rock if we could submit a picture together :) If not then that's k
Yes you can.
Concerning BNN, we are sorry about it. But our publisher told us there’s no company policy about photos in the stores. Many photos are taken every day at author events. It may have been a rule specific to that location, the shopping center it was in, the person you asked, etc. But there is not a Barnes and Noble “no photo” policy. Anyway, welcome to the new competition's rules.
Umm, how many people do you think will participate? I want to participate but if I have a slim to none chance I was not going to enter. Also, is there any other restrictions not previously mentioned, like age or use of props? I love FML, its my favorite site on the web!!

Once again, Can you just take a weird-faced picture, and then photoshop the book into that picture?

So that means we cannot use it for the background either?
Even if we have an actual print of the book cover in our possession?
i love this competition.
i'm surprised my photo was selected.
well done on such an amazing site creations, :)

Can I participate if I´m 13? I would really love to enter, but I´m just making sure :D *Hopes they say yes or I´ll need to post a FML about it*.
#27 - On 06/23/2009 at 9:50pm by Arturo7531
Thank you! Now I just have to wait for my book to get shipped in to take the pic (I know that you don´t need the book to participate, but I rather have it; and no, I didn´t know about the contest before ordering the book). Fingers Crossed for a shirt or better :P
#32 - On 06/24/2009 at 4:14pm by Arturo7531
Can you submit more than one picture per household? My sister really wants to give this a shot.

Is there an age limit??? My sister is 11 and she wants to know if she can enter.
Yeah, kids grow up fast now. :)

all the pictures suck so far, I don't want to vote for any of them and none of them deserve to win an Ipod or anything else for that matter.
How would I delete my picture? I'm nt liking the whole.. people pointing out how ugly I am thing :p
#49 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:56pm by woahyourecool
I submitted a photo and it was accepted yesterday, but the link that was sent to me was blank, and I also have yet to see it on the site! Is there a delay in posting the photos?
#51 - On 06/26/2009 at 11:47pm by Michellesaid
Is the number of votes going to be taken into account?
Because a picture could get a single vote of 5 and win, versus a picture that has 300 votes, and 4.5 end score. It wouldn't make sense for the one vote guy to win.
I'm confused as to how you guys decide on the winners. I know it's like the highest voted, but some have like a ton. Are you guys just gonna decide by the highest rated? or the rates/votes because that sounds like that would work best.

I also want to delete the picture I sent from this account. I have a better one (I think).

When/how will the winners be notified that they have won once the competition is over?
