I was wondering who I can get in contact with about the reward check. The people at Live St. Bernard said that they haven't recieved the check. I don't see a contact e-mail listed. I was just wondering. Thanks for any help you can provide!

THE SMALL PRINT 

You own your photo.

By submitting it, you're giving VolunteerMatch and Squidoo worldwide, royalty-free, non-commercial, and non-exclusive license to use it to our heart's content.

But we certainly won't sell or license your photos to any third party. And both VolunteerMatch and Squidoo will only ever use these photos toward their respective missions.

The Kindness in Focus Contest is open to photographers at least 18 years of age, except employees of Squidoo and VolunteerMatch, and the immediate families of such employees.

Entrants who infringe on the rights of any other person will be disqualified. All photographs should accurately reflect the scene as it appeared.

Photos that have been digitally altered beyond basic optimization like cropping or color adjustments and photos whose captions are found to be false will be disqualified (e.g., no lying.)

You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but you can only win the $1,000 once.

Photos must include all required information in order to be considered.

Decisions on who makes the list of "finalists" are final and non-negotiable.

If we deem that voting has been gamed or made inauthentic in some way, or that the chosen charity is invalid, we reserve the right to select a runner-up winner.

P.S. A Special Thanks to...
