Mighty Dread ™  International Locks Contest & Appreciation A Kwanzaa Holiday Event $1,000 in Cash Prizes -- Priceless Compliments Mighty Dread™ Participant Registration Form Participant REGISTRATION  FORM Locked Sistahs!   Professional photographers in your city have teamed up with Mighty Niger Traditional Art to provide portfolio-quality headshots exclusively to Mighty Dread™ Participants. For the Special Price of $14, registered Mighty Dread™ Participants receive 4 professional Headshots along with a color 8x10 glossy print. Our purpose in negotiating the Special Price was to provide Mighty Dread™ Participants with professional headshots to use in this Appreciation. Participating Photographers are tasked to produce clear photographs of a Participant's locks, so that the beauty of those locks can be assessed accurately over the Internet. The judges will make their decisions solely from the photos on the Internet. Thus, the locks must be in crisp, sharp focus and well lighted (see the locked brother at right).
