The staff here at Hitty.org has set the challenge up in such a way that the entire list of Hittygirls will be the judges! Simply--each person entering will submit one photograph of his/her Hitty set up in a scene from anyplace in the book 'Hitty, Her First Hundred Years' by Rachel Field. The photo will be sent to one of the staff at hitty.org, who will then add it anonymously to the Hitty Photo Challenge Gallery. Each photo will be identified by only a number until after the challenge. When the deadline has come, we will close the challenge, and post a survey to the hittygirls@yahoogroups.com list, for the voting to begin.

Sound like fun? Well--here are the complete rules. If you have any questions, or if anything is unclear, please feel free to contact us for clarification.

Find any passage in the book 'Hitty, Her First Hundred Years' by Rachel Field that you like. Read the passage several times, until you get an idea of how to make a photograph of the passage. (For instance, you could read the part about Hitty being lost in the horsehair sofa. Then you could make a scene with this idea.)

Using your Hitty, create a picture of the passage. The picture must be saved to your computer as a jpeg, jpg, or gif only.

Send the copy of your picture as an attachment, via e-mail through this page to Hitty Photo Challenge. (Click on the link 'Hitty Photo Challenge', and an e-mail form will pop up.) Make sure that you include your name, address, and e-mail address! Make sure that you keep your copy until the contest has ended.

Submit only one photograph per person. Additional photographs will be deleted.

There, it's that simple! Your picture will be posted anonymously to the Hitty Photo Challenge Gallery. When the contest ends, the members of the hittygirls discussion list will vote for the top three pictures.

PRIZES: First Prize, a painted Cloth Hitty by Quiltdziner. Second Prize: Quiltdziner's Cloth Hitty Pattern plus the Day Dress Pattern. Third Prize: Quiltdziner's Day Dress Pattern for Hitty.

 

This is the First Prize Hitty. I don't know her name, because she won't tell me!
