We are on to round 3 of voting for our 2024 Holiday Card of the Year!

THE FINAL ROUND: How to Vote

Here’s how to cast your vote right here on this page:

• Simple and take place on Instagram!
• Head over to our INSTAGRAM:
• Follow the Page
• Like the card that you want to vote for = 1 VOTE
• Comment on the card you want to vote for = 2 VOTES*

*Replies to comments do not count toward votes, but make people smile so don’t let that stop you. 

Any use of automation, fake accounts, bots or 3rd party apps will immediately disqualify you

What are the prizes?

• 1st Place: 2025 Holiday Experience Session and 200.00 in portrait credit to use on your 2025 holiday portraits.
• Runner Up: 2025 Holiday Experience Session.

How can I win?

• Step one: Tell everyone. Seriously, the more people you rally, the better your chances. Share this on Facebook, text your group chats, shout it from the rooftops—whatever it takes.
• Pro tip: We’ll be sharing this on Instagram for the final round too, so don’t forget to repost it and tag your crew. Families who get their friends and fam to vote like it’s their full-time job tend to clean up in these contests.
• Let’s get those votes rolling!

What are the Rules?

• Round 1 will be from January 10th to January 15th — happening right here on our website. Only one vote per person, so make it count!
• After Round 1, we’ll narrow it down to 8 top cards based on your votes.
