1000memories introduces Shoesboxes: A new home for your old photos
THIS CONTEST IS NOW OVER— THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING. WINNER ANNOUNCED SHORTLY!
Got a pile of photos in a shoebox somewhere? Is it well-protected and preserved, or one basement leak away from total destruction? 1000memories wants to help you get those shoeboxes out of the basement where you can enjoy them with friends and family.
Their brand-new app (called, what else? Shoebox!) makes easy work of turning those cardboard boxes into digital ones. AND their partnership with ScanCafe lets you send heaps of photos to be scanned by the professionals. What could be easier?
Prize
Win one of three (3) ScanCafe scanning kits (scanning services for up to 1,000 photos, slides and/or negatives) by completing the challenge below before 12:00PM Pacific Standard Time on April 20th.
Here's how it works:
- Visit 1000memories.com and sign up for a free account
- Create a shoebox and add some of your favorite photos (for some great shoebox ideas, click here)
- Share your favorite shoebox with everyone! Simply copy the shoebox url on 1000memories and paste it in the comments section below for a chance to win
Prizing details:
- ScanCafe is the global leader in professional scanning services, having scanned over 65 million photos
- Scanning kits are specially designed packing boxes to send up to 1,000 photos, slides, and/or negatives to ScanCafe’s scanning facility
- Each of your photos is scanned by hand by a trained technician, a digital copy is automatically added to a private shoebox on 1000memories, and your originals are returned to you along with a copy of your photos on DVD.

Happy scanning!

way to complicated to enter a contest.
not a good way to encourage people to "get started"

Just an FYI - one thing I just learned... EACH shoebox has it's own settings! so some can be private while other boxes can be open to anyone.
CKnobloch says:
Randi— That's a feature that could come in handy... nice that they offer that level of control. Thanks for sharing!
