Contest: Show me your oldest photo!

Listen to article

So here’s another giveaway to our readers, courtesy of our sponsor i-DigiWorld. The prize for this round is the 14-megapixel GE X5 digital camera we featured yesterday. Our theme this time — show me your oldest photo!

Sounds simple right? Here’s how it works:

  • Find the oldest photo you can get with you in it. Use any photo sharing site, your blog, Twitter or Facebook account. The photo must be visible by the public.
  • Leave a comment below with the photo*, a short caption, place and the date the photo was taken. As an option, you can blog about it and leave the URL here (link back to this page so I’ll know it’s a new and official entry). That’s it!

Here’s an example for your reference (as it should appear in the comments section).


Photo: My high school graduation at the Iloilo National High School taken in Iloilo City. I’m the 4th from the left.
Date: March 25, 1995

Some simple guidelines.

  • Maximum size is 500 pixels* in width (no height requirements). This is maximum width of the comments section below so I want the picture to fit just right.
  • Use the IMG html tag when posting the photo in the comments so it shows up automatically. If you don’t know how to do this, don’t worry as we’ll fix it for you so just leave link to your picture.
  • Post only one photo per comment entry. We’ll also limit one qualified entry per email.

Here’s our grand prize — the GE X5.

How do we pick the winners?

The fastest and easiest way is to pick it randomly so the grand prize will be drawn in random from all the entries submitted.

We’ll have several consolation prizes too but those will be a surprise. So be creative but take it easy. We have lots of prizes to go around. Contest ends next week, midnight of the September 30. Will announce winners within 48 hours after that.

Don’t forget to send our prize sponsor some love — check i-DigiWorld out at GirlTeki.com and follow them on Twitter or Facebook).

If you’re not in yet, follow YugaTech on Twitter or add us on Facebook too to get first dibs on more giveaways like this.

This photo was taken when I was 19 (year 1980) in my room. I still have a long hair by that time.

Left this out in the post for the entry:

Sto. Tomas is in Davao del Norte, where I spent high school in Maryknoll. These were the pioneer private high schools in the Davao provinces starting in the 60’s, run by the American Maryknoll Sisters.

Now here’s one from the ancients. We still had the PMT in high school then. Don’t laugh now, this is all for good clean fun. Winning would be fine though. hahaha!

This was taken in late 1984. Yep, typical scenario when you’re the “panganay”. My parents were just starting to raise a family and we didn’t have any household help that time. So they would tag me along wherever they go, like WHEREVER. In this case, I’m caught here boozin’ with the big boys in our old house in QC! My dad taught me early haha! Ironically, I grew up to be a non-drinker.

No thanks to the 1991 flash flood that destroyed all of our photo albums… I only have this baby portrait that I was able to save.

Here’s my entry:


My very first solo baby photo, taken at our old home in Navotas City (how I miss that place).
Taken around the 3rd week of November 1980, a few days after my nanay was able to take me home.
My nanay can’t remember exactly when this was taken and there was no date on the picture.

I also blogged about this:
http://www.justanotherpixel.net/2010/09/my-very-first-baby-solo-photo.html

Thanks for this cool giveaway!

By the way, since you said 1 photo only per email, that means we can submit more entries as long as we use different emails? I’m planning on posting another one on my other blog.

say a 30year old guy posted his baby pic (1 yr old) taken 1980 and a 20 year old guy with his pic (1 month old) taken 1990. Which do you consider older?

thanks

I lost almost all (except 2 baby photos) because of Ondoy :( Baby pictures gone!

Anyway, good thing I still have these two photos left from my Nursery days. :) Anyway, the photo I’m submitting here is my Bee Picture. (see link here: http://everydaysweetnotes.blogspot.com/2010/09/writing-fiction-again.html)

I wrote this blog entry prior to this contest but I edited it to announce this contest. :)

Anyway, this photo was from my nursery days back in 1992. It was taken after our annual children’s play in school where I played as one of the Bees. It was pretty hard to sit with this costume since I had a huge stinger at my butt area. Haha.

I was one of the extras in this play and funnily, I got left in the stage when the curtain closed at the end of the show. The curtains closed behind me! My friend told me she has a picture of this funny scene.

I don’t know how to put the photo here so here’s the link to my open photo album in Multiply: http://smarla.multiply.com/photos/album/136#photo=14
