Uploading photos


Follow these simple rules when submitting a photo:


  1. You'll need to fill in an online authorisation form on your child's behalf. It's important that you are present when they are uploading a photo and/or video to the website if they are under the age of 18. Don't worry, Cartoon Network will not share these details with other companies.
  2. Upload images (using the ‘browse’ button) that are no larger than 4MB in file size and videos that are no larger than 12MB.
  3. You can upload the following image file formats: JPEG, GIF and PNG and the following video file formats: AVI, MOV, MP4
  4. Make sure the photo and/or video only features your child.
  5. Please do not include any sound recordings/music in the video.
  6. All photo and video entries are monitored at all times and only those who follow the rules and guidelines will be shown in the website.


Using webcams to record video


If you choose to submit a video of your child using a webcam, please follow the following steps:


  1. You'll need to fill in an online authorisation form on your child's behalf. It's important that you are present when they are uploading a photo and/or video to the website if they are under the age of 18. Don't worry, Cartoon Network will not share these details with other companies
  2. They will first be asked to allow the Flash application to access the webcam by clicking ‘allow’. Once they click this button, their image will appear in the window of the Flash application so that they can see themselves. No footage is recorded at this stage.
  3. They will then be asked to start recording their entry for the competition. Once the recording is taken, the file is stored directly onto the Cartoon Network server and never onto your personal machine.
  4. Make sure the photo and/or video only features your child
  5. You will then be asked to provide some information on behalf of your child (name, address, telephone number, e-mail, parent’s e-mail)
  6. The video file is then reviewed by Cartoon Network as to whether it is suitable to go onto the site. Once approved it will appear in the gallery where it can be viewed and rated.
