Got a photo mess like this one on your hands? Old, unlabeled family pictures spilling
out of shoe boxes, falling out of albums and deteriorating in the attic or basement?

Show us your photo mess, and you could win a safe place to store your family photo
archive, plus expert photo preservation advice from Photo Detective Maureen A. Taylor 

To enter, submit a picture of your photo mess along with a short plea (fewer than
150 words) convincing us why you need photo-organization help. You can submit your
photo and short story either of these ways:

• Post it to the Family Tree
  Magazine Facebook wall (like our page, then tag us when you upload the photo
  to your profile)

• E-mail
  it to us.

Family Tree Magazine editors will choose the entry displaying the worst photo
mess and the most-convincing plea for help, as well as two runners-up.

One grand-prize winner will receive $250 worth of archival-quality photo-organization
supplies and a signed copy of the book Preserving Your Family Photographs by
Taylor. Two runners-up will each receive a signed copy of the book.

We’ll announce the winners in the March 2012 Family Tree Magazine. The entry
deadline is Aug. 31, 2011. See
