There are no stipulations on what you do to the pic you send in. You may use photoshop, dress up, or simply send in a pic au naturale (meaning, using nothing but your face. No nudity PLEASE!). Contestants will submit their images by posting them in the comments below this article (or if you don't know how, send them to
[email protected]). Readers will judge the pics, voice their favorites, and CBM volunteers will decide the winners.
