For those of you who don't know, the Bissel vacuum cleaner company is holding a pet photography contest to find a new picture for their packaging. I was of course, being a photographer, interested in their contest. When I went to make an account, I saw that I had to choose my age group.
After I set my age group as 12 to 17, I entered the rest of the information needed and submitted it. I was immediately taken to a screen, which contained, instead of the welcome notice and introduction to the contest that I was expecting, this picture of an endearing dog who has a 'vote me badge'. Apart from my immediate concerns as to what kind of terrible person would pin a badge directly into a dog (look at the pain in his eyes!), I was confused. If they wouldn't allow anyone under the age of 18 to enter, then why were there two separate groups for those under-age? Why not just put under 18. Why put any ages under 18 on the list at all? Any way, nothing will stop a child that wants to enter the contest from entering, so why bother?
