Upload photos of your favorite ancestors, and you could win an unforgettable trip to their homeland. Visit Ancestry.com anytime between September 1 and September 30, upload up to five photos a day of earlier generations* of your family, and you could win an all-expense paid†trip to visit any of your ancestors’ place of origin. Register, start your tree and upload photos absolutely free. You’ll be able to learn first-hand details about their lives and their homeland that may give you a better picture of who they were, and maybe a little about yourself as well – information you can’t get from traditional research.
In addition to the grand prize trip, each week we’ll also choose ten winners for additional prizes. Two first place winners will win a portable scanner, perfect for digitizing family photos for your album. Four second place winners will receive a free year subscription to Ancestry.com. And four third place winners will receive a personalized and unique copy of Our Name in History, a book detailing the history of their family name!

Is this a random drawing, or are the photos judged for artistic merit?
If you already have a Ancestry Family website and upload pictures, does it count?
I think I already have a family tree in Anc.com
How can I add the pictures to it or do I have to start a new tree?
I don’t know how to access the answers to the comments. Can you tell me how to access them please?
I started a family tree and when I was finished got “this page cannot be displayed.” Did I lose all the information I had furnished?
What if the pictures are ones I have found online during the course of my search?
How many days are included in the grand prize trip?
Is this a random drawing, or are the photos judged on merit? And, how does one access answers to these comments? Thank you.
