Q. How does the XStreamCards Photo Contest work?
A. XStreamCards features and spotlights photographers and artists worldwide on our incredible eCards. We hand select from thousands of images, just the perfect ones for our site. Every other month we choose a Grand Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize and Honorable Mention Winners. The Grand Prize is a vacation for two for 4 days & 3 nights at a 4 Diamond Resort in Jamaica, Bahamas, Dominican, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos. The winners will be published on the XStreamCard.com web site, notified by email and given instructions on their Prize.

Q. Will my photos be returned?
A. Any images submit will not be returned, and may be used for ecard designs and published on the www.XStreamCards.com web site. The image may be modified with a title, frame and an applet (puzzle, falling snow, reflecting water, etc.). Photo credits will be on each image, providing exposure to literally millions of viewers. You will be notified if your photos are used, and provided a free "Full Access" membership of the site. Individual photographers retain all copyrights to their work.

Q. What are the requirements to submit a photo to the XStreamCards contest?
A. Entries may be color or black and white digital scans. Scans should be no larger than 800 by 600 pixels at 72 dpi and no smaller than 640 by 480 pixels at 72 dpi.
