Upload Pictures of Dad, Win Prizes

Honor your dad and win him the title of Patch's Most Photogenic Dad 2013, as well as $500 worth of great prizes from regional businesses. All you have to do is upload a picture.

Father’s Day is almost here, so it’s time to think about our dads and all they’ve done for us. 

Last year, we asked you for great pictures of dads and their child(ren) and we asked you to praise your dad. This year, we want to see a picture of your dad. It can be with or without children or grandchildren. But please make sure that any parents of children included in pictures you submit are OK with you posting it.

Upload pictures of your dad. Tell us what you think we need to know in the caption area when you upload the photo. See below for rules, but please be aware that you must be 18 to enter.
