Did anyone enter the Pinterest DVC contest?

I found the rules frustratingly unclear about much, but the one thing I thought was certain was that the pictures had to be your pictures. Not sure I'll enter the Instagram contest (I am way more active on Instagram in Pinterest).

Someone on Facebook said that the rules stated that you could have limited access to some of Disney's photos. Even at that, the winner used a picture from Flickr with a copyright symbol in the corner and a picture from ebay. :sad2:

That is frustrating. It did clearly say it had to be your own work, no one else's, and that you couldn't use copyrighted work. Duh.
 
ugh..don't like when they don't ensure their own rules are followed. I didn't see the announcement and I do have DVC liked on FB

I had to search to find it. It never showed up on my news feed for some reason.
 

I saw it on FB. Someone said in the comments that you were allowed to use their image and brand, which I get, but it still said the photos had to be your own or that you couldn't use someone else's work. I can understand using a photo of Disney's, but that flickr photo is clearly copyrighted by someone else.

So has to be your own work, can't use copyrighted work, you can use the logo, name, and "product" with their permission, but you still can't use someone else's copyrighted work. So I don't get it. But oh well.
 
I just found out that I won the pinterest challenge. I don't have face book so got the news in an email. I worked long and hard on my page and am excited to win. I hope I didn't disappoint anyone, I didn't really understand the rules myself but just did what felt right to me and had fun doing it. I have never won anything before and am thrilled to win a Disney prize. Good luck to everyone entering the next challenge.

Congratulations on a great Pinterest board and winning the contest.
 
Really!?! I just assumed it was midnight also. I went ahead and submitted mine on Friday, so I did meet the deadline.

Every picture I used was my own personal picture. I used photos from WDW, DL, DCL, VB, and ABD. I figured I'd show the full range of how your DVC points can be used.

Here's a link to my page if you'd like to see it: http://www.pinterest.com/tchrrx/share-your-memories/

I don't use instagram, so I have no idea how to do it. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that I win this one! pixiedust:

I didn't know they were doing this but I clicked on your link and love the page you made. I love seeing all the ways you have you used your membership. We have been member since 2007 and this summer we are going to Vero Beach do you have any tips for us

Congrats! Your board was great. No slight against you, I just wish Disney would follow their own rules.
