Facebook Cover Photo Contest: Share Your Best Winter Photos

As the editor of Cranston Patch, I'm fortunate to get a chance to feature photos and artwork from local residents both here on the Web site and on our Facebook page. 

Now's your chance to get one of your best winter photos featured prominently on our Facebook page.

From now until Friday, Jan. 25, we'll be accepting winter-themed submissions for a cover photo for us to use on Cranston Patch's Facebook page.

Whether it's a photo of a historic building, a school event or even a colorful bird visiting your back yard, we want to see your take on Cranston. Be creative and try to capture the essence of the city.

There's no age requirement to submit: You just have to be a Cranston Patch user and be able to create a 100 percent original piece of work owned by you for us to use. You agree to grant Patch the royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive right and license to use the work on Cranston Patch's Facebook page. You must have permission to show all individuals seen in the work. If minor children are included in the work, you must be their parent or guardian, or obtain written consent from their parent or guardian prior to submitting the work. All entries must be at least 399 pixels wide and cannot contain any advertising (such as a prominent Coca Cola logo). 

We'll close acceptance for entries on Friday, Jan. 25, at 9 a.m. Then, it's up to you again. We will choose the front-runners and create a poll for the readers to make the final decision.
