Category and Age Restrictions

Can I take part in more than 1 category?

You can submit photos for all of the categories. However, photos cannot be duplicates. We allow 1 photo per category.

Can I win more than 1 prize?

No, you will not be awarded more than 1 prize, regardless of how popular or creative your photo is.

If I previously won a prize, can I participate again?

If you've won a prize (any prize) in one of our contests, you cannot participate in any of the categories that were already existing when you joined and won the contest. If new categories are added in future, you can participate in those categories.

Of course, if you didn't win any prizes (not including the Hall of Fame) last month, you are free to participate again this month. Just remember to use different/new pictures! Re-using pictures is not allowed.

Are there any age limits for the different categories

We used to have age limits, but have since relaxed the rules. Now, unless otherwise mentioned on the photo contest page you can submit past photos of your child.

For example, if your kid is 10 years old, you can submit a photo of him when he was less than 1 years old in any "baby" category. You can also submit a photo of him when he was, for example 2 years old in any "Toddler" category, or similarly, a photo of him when he was 6 years old (or even a current photo) in any "Kid" category.

The rule of the thumb is that the photos should be photos of your kid (regardless of his current age), taken when he was:

12 months old or less - for any "Baby" category
3 years old or less - for any "Toddler" category
12 years old or less - for any "Kid" category

Important:
=========
Where a category specifies any restrictions, those restrictions must be followed.

Eg. If we specify that this category is "only for kids currently 12 months and older", only mothers who have kids who are now 12 months and older, may participate.

Eg. If we specify that this category is "only for babies currently 12 months and younger", only mothers who have kids who are now 12 months and younger, may participate.

How does Malaysiamums ensure that these rules are followed

In addition to automated software checks, we require photocopies of the mother's IC and child's birth certificate, before delivery of prizes.
