Tips & Tricks
During voting week, share on social via your feed and stories, tag friends in the comments under your Freedom voting post, and consider asking some friends to help you do the same. Some participants find that calling, emailing, and texting their friends with the info helps to build votes when the competition gets tough.
Collages will NOT be accepted this year. 2024’s contest is limited to one entry per person, so be sure to submit your very best!*
*For our 2024 voting period, only 1 image / entry per individual will be utilized. If multiple images are submitted by the same individual, our judges will select which image will be featured during the voting period.
