It’s that time of year when family photos start arriving on holiday cards from relatives across the country. Why don’t you do something different this year and
create a new kind of family portrait? Make an image that illustrates the traits and ancestry you share with your family that are revealed in your DNA.
We’re hosting a “new kind of family portrait” photo contest where the prize is four 23andMe kits for you and your family! Entering is simple: create a family portrait this Thanksgiving, tag it #FamilyDNA, and share it with 23andMe on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and get a chance to win. Be sure to tell us why you want to win!
Not sure what kind of photo to share? Take a pic that shows whether you look more like mom or dad. Try to fit the most generations in your photo. Show us where you got that curly hair — from grandma? Bonus points for creativity!
We look forward to seeing your families and to helping you create a new kind of family portrait with DNA!
