A Creative Contest
Feeling creative? Design a cover image and profile picture for Katherine's Facebook Page and not only could your work be only display for everyone to see, but you could also win a signed mini poster card!
Katherine's Current Facebook Cover & Profile Picture
To be in with a chance to win, all you need to do is come up with a new stylish design that follows a few guidelines and email it to webmaster@kheigl.com. If your design is selected, you win! It is that simple.
Guidelines
The cover image should be in JPG format, 851 pixels wide and 315 pixels high and should have Katherine's name incorporated into the design. Please make sure that Facebook's rules are adhered to. The cover image should not contain contact information, web addresses, references to user interface elements - such as 'Like' or 'Share', or calls to action.
Profile pictures should also be in JPG format, square in shape and a minimum of 180 pixels wide and 180 pixels high. Please ensure that the image is no larger than 300 pixels by 300 pixels.
The web site Gallery may be helpful in selecting images of Katherine to use in your design. You can be as creative as you like!
The closing date for the competition is August 26th.
Mini Poster Card
The autographed mini poster card (an unsigned version is shown above) is for prize purposes only and should not influence the Facebook design. Katherine signed the card to help promote her I Hate Balls fundraising campaign.
I Hate Balls
Each year approximately 5 million animals are euthanized in shelters across the United States because homes can not be found for them. By supporting the I Hate Balls spay/neuter initiative you will help to dramatically reduce the number of animals that are abandoned to shelters, prevent pet overpopulation and save lives.
Visit IHateBalls.com and donate to the cause or buy some of the fantastic merchandise from the Chop Shop. Help make a difference today!
I love you since Grey’s Anatomy but now that I know that you help to the animals I love You more <3

Im just checking to see that Katherine owns the rights to all the photos in the gallery…She has given her concent for us to be creative with her photographs, have the photographers given Katherine the rights to allow us to do so? Id hate for my picture to be selected then get in trouble… Id hate for what seems like a really fun contest to turn into something ugly cause a photographer gets mad 🙂
There should not be an issue with any of the photographs in the gallery as either permission has been granted to use them on Katherine’s personal sites or they are images where the copyright is solely owned by her. Obviously we can not control which images people choose to use in their designs, so as part of the selection process we will ensure that there are no issues when displaying the images used in the winning design.
I really love the way Katie makes our world to a better place 🙂
I##l try to take part in this contest …. hope to win 🙂

Is it okay if I mention her website, twitter & the iHateBalls on the cover? 🙂
Under Facebook rules that is not really allowed (see the article) I am afraid, so if you can just stick to her name that would be great! Thanks.

how many pictures can you send??
Each entry needs two pictures – a cover image and a profile picture, but you can send as many pairings as you like. Providing they meet the guidelines (size etc) you will be entered into the contest.
How to know if you received my entry ???
Hi Audrey,
You design was received thanks very much! Good luck in the contest.
yay thank you for your answer : )
You said the cover image should be 851 pixels wide and 310 pixels high but all the websites with Cover image sizes said it should be 315 pixels high.
Yes you are correct. Sorry that was a typo and has been changed now.
Does it matter in which country you live?
I live in The Netherlands.
i’m not sure yet if i’m going to compete.
I want to, but if you have to live in the U.S.A. than it will just be kind of like a waste i guess
The contest is open to everyone regardless of location. Hope that helps.
The box for the image to fit into is 160×160, so why is there a min of 180×180?
It was to give designers more of range above the minimum as often people dont pay much attention to the dimensions. Unfortunately probably 1 in 2 of the designs received so far have not met the guidelines, but with these parameters it gives a little more scope (resizing etc).
I saw the change of the size(315 pixels) now, but I sent my pics. what should I do? Do you accept them?
Yes no problem – definitely accepted. If your design is chosen as the winner we can work at getting it resized to 315 – if it was only 310.
Hello , I sent two picture and I don’t know if you have it or if forgot something . Do I have to send my name ?? thank you 🙂 x
Received. Thanks very much for entering.
Yesterday I sent the cover image and the profile picture, did you receive it? 🙂 Also, I was wondering whether we could send more than one pair from the same email? Thank you!
Yes received thanks. Send as many as you like!
Will you accept covers/images that are “png?” Cause I can’t change to JPEG.
