"Kodak is asking families to show off their true colors for the entire world to see," said Leslie Dance, Vice President of Brand Marketing & Communications at Kodak. "Of course, the word 'family' means different things to different people, from our kids or crazy in-laws to co-workers or best friends. Kodak wants to help people celebrate and share their unique family moments, whoever that family may be."

    --  Record a 10-second video family portrait
    --  Title the video "My (Insert Family Name) Family Portrait"

        contest area and upload the video

    --  Families can enter as many times as they would like before November 15

"The winning family's entry will be seen by millions of people," Dance said. "Their true colors will be displayed on the YouTube homepage and on the Kodak Times Square Billboard."

The top 25 finalists will be announced on November 24, people can vote for their favorite Family Portrait from November 24 to December 2, and winners will be announced December 7.
