Customer Contest FAQs

Who can submit an entry to the People’s Choice design contest?

Parents at current Treering schools are welcome to enter the contest. 

I’m a parent at a Treering school, what should I include in my contest submission?

We are looking forward to seeing the Custom Pages you designed for your child (or helped your child design). Custom Pages are meant to personalize your yearbook with your unique 2022-2023 school year story.

How many entries may I submit?

If you have multiple custom pages to submit, we’d love to see up to five spreads (left/right facing pages)! Heads up: you can only complete the submission form ONCE, so have all your screen shots ready at once.

What are the contest dates?

The People’s Choice Contest for Treering parents has a submission period of March 21st to April 4th.

I’m a yearbook editor and also a parent. Can I submit entries to both contests? 

Yes! Please do! 

How does a student-created (under 18) page get entered? 

A parent may submit their child’s Custom Pages.

I have a question and would like to speak with someone at Treering. Whom may I contact? 

Please reach out to our Marketing team at marketing@treering.com.

Can my submission to either contest include spread/custom pages from previous years?

We love seeing all of your designs but will only judge work from the current school year. 

How will l know if I am a finalist?

Finalists will be posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages! We’ll also contact each winner by email and phone.

I don’t have social media, can I still enter the contest?

You may. But please know that should you be chosen as a finalist, your pages will be posted on our social media channels.

How/when can people vote? Can non-Treering editors vote?

Voting will take place on both our Facebook (@treering) and Instagram (@treeringcorp) pages once finalists have been posted! Finalists for the Editor contest will be posted on 3/30.
