PUT YOUR NAME AND LOCATION ON YOUR CONTRIBUTION

• Our deadline for your photoshopped and/or written happy birthday wishes will be Monday, January 12, 2015 at 6pm Eastern Time (same time zone as New York City).

 

• If you don't have computer 'skills' and just want to write a small note or happy birthday wish to Dave, you can send that in and we will put a nice border around it. PLEASE LIMIT

  YOUR NOTE TO 100 WORDS OR LESS. The more contributions, the better the book.

• The maximum size of your entry should be no more than 800x600 pixels. Please size them before sending them in.

• All submissions will become property of sweetparamania.com and that means that we can use them for future .. stuff. (Future birthday book promotions, examples, etc.)

• Once you send in your contribution, you will be sent a confirmation e mail back from me. If you do not receive a confirmation e mail within 24 hours, I did not receive your entry. Please re-send it.

• Do not send your entries to me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or the latest cool iPhone app that you cannot pry your eyes away from. Only entries submitted in the box below will be accepted and put in the book.

• Any notes that you do send in, please keep short and sweet. 100 words maximum. I can't post 3 page letters to Dave about how cute his butt is. He knows. You don't have to tell him.

• Please do not post your contributions/entries on social media until after Dave's birthday. The point is for it to be a big surprise for everyone, and when you post them on social media sites ahead of January 14, it sort of ruins the book. I know it's difficult to wait, but please try. If you plan on contributing to another online book, please make a separate greeting for this book.

• Most important: This is for Dave's Birthday. Any entries that mention personal life (family, children etc.) will be returned to you and you will be asked to either edit your contribution or not have it included. Do not photoshop photos of his family into your contribution. Just think of how you would like to be treated on YOUR birthday and what sort of greetings you would like to receive. Don't be creepy. BE RESPECTFUL of Dave.

• I'm challenging you this year to be creative. Think outside of the box. If you want to create a video to Dave, do it! Upload it to YouTube & send the link to me in the submission box below. Make sure that you allow it to be shared and that I can get an 'embedded' code to the video. If you need help, e mail me or ask around. Keep your videos to a couple of minutes and please remember that it's a birthday greeting - not a way to audition for him. This isn't 'The Voice' or some other lame TV show like 'American Idol'. I reserve the right to deny content. Rule of thumb: it's a birthday wish/greeting. That's all. Try to keep videos to a maximum of 2-3 minutes.

• If you want to work on a group submission, that's ok too! If you want to do both, do both! There's no limit on how many wishes you can send in to Dave. As long as you remember that it's about his birthday.
