Can i send in a picture to hallmark?

Question

I have an amazingly cute picture of a kid that i babysit, and i was wondering if anyone knew if i could send it in to hallmark or some place with the hopes of getting it put on a card? and possibly get some money for the kid's parents also?

Answer 1

Sure, maybe not Hallmark, but a greeting card company. You would need a signed release from the subject's parents. If you look in the book, "The Photographer's Market 2008," then you can see all the opportunities you have with that image

Answer 2

They have contests for card material on different topics and so yes you can send your card designs or components to them if it fits the contest being held at the time

Other than that they do not accept freelance or third party submissions. As said above other card companies well may
