Perhaps it's a wall mural like the one shown above? A tree painted on a ceramic plate? One you cut out with a scroll saw, pieced in fabric on the back of a jacket, or constructed from dry macaroni? We'd love to see it! Enter a photo of your project in our Creative Family Trees
Contest and you could win one of these prizes:

One grand-prize winner will receive a $300 package containing a 22 x 28-inch heritage frame and a coordinating family tree wall chart—which master calligrapher Ron Tate will beautifully inscribe with your ancestors' names—from Kindred Trails' Family History Store, plus books from Family Tree Books.

Two runners-up each will win a family tree wall chart and a gift certificate to the Family History Store, plus books from Family Tree Books.


Criteria
We'll judge entries on appearance, craftsmanship, originality and presentation of genealogical information. Winning entries will be featured in the June 2006 Family Tree Magazine Preserving Memories column. Sorry, we can't return or acknowledge photos.

Please send reprints of photographs. Don't send photocopies or color-photocopies, which won't reproduce well in the magazine.


Contest Details: Online entries must be received by Feb. 1, 2006, midnight Eastern Standard Time. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by Feb. 1, 2006. Professionally commissioned projects and photos that don't comply with the image requirements stated above aren't eligible to win.

Winners will be notified by e-mail and announced in the June 2006 Family Tree Magazine.

Entries may be used in all Family Tree Magazine print and electronic media.
