I emailed HIP music, and the download codes expire Sept 30th, 2012. Just so everyone knows.

Congratulations to the winners! If you don't mind saying, did you use a new photo every day, or just edit the same photo?

I email the same photo with minor modiciations - I click the brush onto the photo once per day.

Thanks for finding this info out. How annoying! I assumed they didn't expire.

Question for winners: Are you entering a retouched up pic where you slightly alter it every day...or using different pics every day? I have near perfect entries on this, and no alerts for me.

My problem is took like 10 pics...for 7 days tried submitting them (different one each day), and it told my my pics were invalid. I slightly altered a stock pic, and it goes through instantly. I can't help but wonder if they see same pic over and over and DQ me. Yet their site is so messed up can't even use my own pics, very frustrating.

I have been trying to use different backgrounds on all the pics. I even took pics outside.
I'll take about 10 at a time with 3 or 4 in the same area but rearrange the cans or bottles.
I've had a few rejected and they looked fine to me.

I did the lazy approach laugh out loud Took a screenshot of the entry page products - since they're so nicely put together already.
Edited it so you can only see the soda and bag of chips (though I had to zoom and tweak it a couple of times to get it to accept). Once I got the "right" picture I would edit it again each day by grabbing the corner of the picture and stretching the size to make a white bar around the corner. Saved, renamed, and then entered it again. It has never given me an error since.

My prize turned out to be a $100 Stub Hub gift certificate.

I'm guessing your picture didn't work because it's too small. Maybe try making a square cut-out from the top of the chip logo to the bottom of the soda?

I used a screen shot from their website of the chips and soda together and it worked on the first try.

The Lays logo on the bag may be too wrinkled for it to accept it. I've had problems with reflections from a light screwing up with a logo too. I've had a bag with a couple creases from being folded over and it's worked. Sometimes it's just trial and error and you'll get some that work.

For people who need photos, while I was at a grocery store, I grabbed a bottle of Pepsi (1.25L works well) and set it up next to a Frito Lay display and snapped away. Of course it didn't hurt that the store wasn't very busy at the time. If you have a Frito Lay product on each side of the bottle and maybe even some on the shelves above and below, you can crop the photo to make even more photos -- all from one picture. I found this easier than going searching for photos on the internet and photoshopping them together -- especially after I found some that already met the requirements and were flagged as duplicates. I guess other people had the same idea!

If you take pictures of things at home, try making small changes (putting the bottle/can on the left, right, higher, lower, rotating it a bit, taking the cap off, etc.). I had one bag and a few cans of Pepsi and Mountain Dew and took probably 70 pictures in various configurations.

Also, when you take picture, take a few at a time, even if they are exactly the same as the previous picture. I believe the website scans your picture digitally and assigns it a CRC or hashtag checksum which it uses to check for duplicates. So even if it looks like a duplicate to the naked eye, the site will accept it as long as it's not a digital copy. Like others have said, you can also make small changes to the picture. Cropping the border a bit or changing a few pixels or even just rotating it will work. Doing this with several base photos to work from should last you until the end of the promotion.

@fldude
Do you think using a stock photo, and altering it in paint marginally each day is offensive to the judging of the entry? To have such a huge DB of photos is seemingly a pain, hard to imagine the check winning entries carefully. But they could verse previous entries.

VERY Jealous of stubhub GC, I'm a sports nut. I would like an excuse to hit more Cardinals games Wink
