Plain Kiasu or Ignorant?

I signed DD up for a Coverpage Baby Photo Contest by Today's Motherhood. It's pretty simple. You subscribe to their mailing list and upload a photo of your child(below 5 years). The photos will be judged internally and decisions are final.

2. Only ONE photo per child (multiple entries will be deleted)


Yup, that is one of the rules of the contest, and one that is horrendously ignored. If you have free time(like me), you can browse through all the participants(which I did), and you will find there are numerous multiple entries. Some entries are with the same photo, which I assumed is because maybe the system had a hiccup that is why some parents submitted the same photo twice. But some, I would have to say are just kiasu parents who badly wanted their children to win. If they are not kiasu, then I am flabbergasted by the literacy level of SG parents. Look at the number of photos that they send per child. Wah lau eh so many! And so many different poses even! C'mon it's only a contest. Even Hubby and I enter DD with a pinch of salt, just for fun.

As the contest will be judged internally, the results might be fixed. Who knows?
