UPrinting Giveway: You Could Win a Free Gallery Wrapped Canvas Print!

Thursday, May 28, 2009   ·   

I am seriously very excited to tell you about this 16X20 GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS PRINT that I am giving away. Gallery wrapped canvas prints are so beautiful as is that they can pretty much be hung on your wall without worrying about extra framing, and I actually prefer them to frames prints, which is why I am excited to tell you the next thing which is very, very awesome.

On behalf of UPrinting.com, who do everything from business cards to poster printing, I am giving away a 16X20 GALLERY WRAPPED CANVAS PRINT. Oh, right. I already told you that. Well, what I haven't told you is that this giveaway is in honour of Father's Day, which makes this giveaway extra awesome, because I don't know about you, but I find my father particularly difficult to buy for. I feel like I am far too old to rely on the old golf balls/tie/socks routine, but I'd feel kind of weird giving him a hammer *, and this gallery wrapped canvas print idea is perfect for him. There is this one photograph that his late brother took of me when I was three years old, and I'm thinking that that one is perfect for a canvas print to give him for Father's Day. It has just the right amount of sentimentality and family history tied to it.

Right, so on to the giveaway! Here's how to enter for TWO chances to win:
1) Are you a Canadian or United States resident? Yes? Then move on to number two.
2) In the comments, describe the photo you would use for your gallery wrapped canvas print if you won.
3) If you would like to have two chances to win, post an entry about this giveaway on your own weblog with a link back to this entry.

You have until the evening of May 31, 2009 to enter. I will assign each of the entries a number and use random.org to pick a winner, after which I will post an entry announcing the lucky entrant.

So, what would you like to see on your gallery wrapped canvas print?

Good luck everyone!

* I'm not exactly sure why I defaulted to a hammer as being the alternative gift to the usual golf balls/tie/socks. I guess that I just don't know a whole lot about tools or other things that my dad might be interested in, and my dad's a man's man kind of guy, so I picked the most basic tool I could think of that I know he'd find useful, although, to be honest, I've never seen him hammer anything that I can remember.

So many possibilities but I'd probably dedicate the print to a great picture of my wonderful cat.    Tabitha A photo of my baby girl now right before she is getting ready to turn into a little girl.    overcome All my life, Ireland has called to me as if a part of my destiny is waiting there. I have cancer now, so will not make it there except in my paintings. That, then, is what I'd print: one of my paintings of Ireland.    witchypoo A hammer has great significance to Canucks. It's known as the Canadian Tire sleeping pill. I have an image of me and my two boys that I would love to use.    doahleigh I just returned from Ireland, and I've been trying to figure out a great way to display some of my photos. I think this would be perfect!    Heide Prolly a pic of my 2 wee girlies. My baby was so ugly when she was born, but now she's cute, so we need to celebrate the cute!    Karen I would agonize over the choice between two pictures taken on Rossebeigh strand in Ireland. So lovely.    Debbie Rodgers My dad died in 1998 (and my father-in-law in 1969) so this gift would be for my husband. He plays guitar and, finally, after 40 years of dreaming has a home studio. I have a black & white 1956 photo of Bill when he was 18 months old, wearing a cowboy hat and a Mickey Mouse guitar. Even though people usually first notice the holster & hat, I call this "Billy's first guitar" and I would love to put it on a wrapped canvas print to hang in his studio. Thanks for the chance to win!    sumo I will have to get back to you on the final selection, but right now I'm thinking of something from the family picture archives.    megan A pic of my dad and me, when I was around 3 years old. We're holding a fish that was way bigger than me, and I had on a backwards baseball cap and a huge grin. Would love to have a print of that one. If I don't win, I'll probably end up doing it anyway, so THANKS!!!! for the great idea!    farmwife How cool. I think I'd do a photo of our two girls for Daddy Day :)    elaine i have 2 prints in mind, one of my then 2 y.o. daughter earnestly carrying an unfamiliar cat up the front steps who was almost as big as she was... his name was tigger and she could not yet say her t`s so she called in pigger the other is one of my then 8 y.o. daughter standing on one of the gorgeous red rock structures along oak creek canyon in arizona with her arm raised and fist clenched in a an affirmative power pose    Only Aman This one is tough for me, I think we would use it for either a family collage or a family portrait. Since you can send a digital photo, maybe i will collage something for a family tree to show the kids the grandparents/great grandparents they were not fortunate enough to meet.    Heather I think I'd definitely do a picture of the grandkids for my Dad. My husband gets to see them everyday after all. ;-)    Ozma The picture I'd love to give to my dad is a picture of my daughter. A friend of ours is a professional photographer and he took pictures of our daughter--but she's such a wild child she could not make a normal 'picture' face. Instead she is telling stories and being her wacky self. She's also being a boy in some of the pictures. Although my dad doesn't get everything about my daughter, he does get my daughter's boy alter ego and basically, that aspect of her originality. He even buys this grandson presents. So I think he needs a picture of him. My daughter/son with an extremely odd expression, wearing her boy clothes.    May-B I would love to be able to show off some of my sister's work. She is really talented and takes some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.    jan I actually want one of your photos on it - your garden photos (the egg shell and the shovel one) - we should chat... but failing that I would put a picture of of the farm on it - the farm is really my dad's third child that is clearly the most spoiled of all of us.    Cheri @ Blog This Mom! I would like to have printed on canvas a special photograph that was taken by my nine-year-old daughter. :-)    not undecided We're planning on giving my parents a family photo session for their 30th anniversary, so I would either use one of those or probably this snapshot of him and me when I was about two. We're eating popsicles, shirtless, because I always wanted to do what Dad did. Sweet.    not undecided Mayhaps I should have linked back to my post from here? I'm all confused with trackbacks and links back and...yeah. http://hardtobehuman.blogspot.com/2009/05/fathers-day-giveaway.html    snicketyone I would print the photo I shot of my kids for this year's holiday card.    Pork with Bones I'd probably print a photo of most of my siblings (and myself), all in a group. With as many children as my parents have, they hardly ever get to see us all at once; so that would make a special gift.    velocibadgergirl I would choose one of the nature photos I've taken.   post a comment ~ Subscribe to Post Comments [Atom] ~ main page
