She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy.

****************************************************
 
 - The Cutest Doll Competition -
Now, this is the first part of this post - and one of the fun-est!
Who is your cutest doll? I know it's a hard decision. Well, enter her into the cutest doll competition!
Want some more info? Let's get started!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT DATES
Entering the competition begins: July 5 (today!)
Deadline to enter competition: July 19 (two weeks)
Post of entrants: July 22
Week of voting: July 23- July 29
Winner announced: July 31
---------------------------------------------------------------
RULES
- only three entrants per parent/guardian of the dolls, anymore will be disqualified immediately
- only one photo of the entrant in the form, anymore or a photoshoot will immediately disqualify the entrant
- absolutely no editing allowed in the photo
- absolutely no personal information or inappropriateness in the photo
- you must have permission to enter if you are under eighteen years of age because the winner must give address to receive prize
- you are not allowed to vote for your own doll, but you are allowed to campaign and advertise on your website and/or social media accounts (please note that any comments on the voting post campaigning for a certain doll will be deleted)
- you may not enter the same doll in both competitions
If any or all of these rules are violated, it could result in immediate disqualification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TO ENTER
Uh, how?
Well, there's a link down below that will have a form for you to fill out. It requires your name (or nickname, not your address or phone number or age - don't worry!) and an email address that we can reach you at (it can be a parent's but please note that if you win and cannot be contacted within three days, another winner will be chosen).
It will also ask about the doll entrant - age, birthday, hobbies, favorites, etc. It will also require one unedited photo of the doll (no other dolls in the photo, please).
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE WINNER
Ooh, the winner! The winner will be announced July 31 - and will be able to choose any one item from the Dolls N' All Shoppe (soon to be announced) with the limit of $10.
Also, the winner will compete with the winner of the Loveliest Doll Competition for the Doll of the Month spot for October.
-------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER THINGS OF NOTE
On July 22, all of the dolls who have entered will be featured in a post (separate from the Loveliest Doll Competition - see below) with their photo and bio. This is what the voters will see.
Feel free to campaign on your own website/social media accounts, but please do not campaign on the Dolls N' All blog (comments, guest posts, etc.).
In the form, only one photo of the doll is allowed. This and the writing in the bio that is requested is what is going to win or lose for you. I suggest using your best photography and writing skills. Take several photoshoots and then chose the best ONE photo out of all of them.
Also note that one doll from the DNA family will be entering this, but it does not give an advantage. She will be entered just like everyone else and posted just like everyone else.
WINNERS ARE CHOSEN BY THE VOTING, NOT BY MYSELF, NOT BY A PANEL OF JUDGES, NOT BY POPULARITY, AND NOT BY RANDOM CHOICE.

~ The Loveliest Doll Competition ~
I have to say, I'm extremely excited about this one. It's the second part of this post, which means that there are indeed two competitions!
So, what exactly is it? Well, it's almost the same as the above, except instead of the cutest doll, we're looking for the loveliest doll.
