Too Comfortable To Be Uncomfortable Contest
Presented by Sanuk

No matter how uncomfortable family can sometimes get (and believe us, we know), when your feet are comfortable, it makes things a little less awkward. So in honor of Sanuk, maker of the most comfy footwear around, we’re proud to announce the Too Comfortable To Be Uncomfortable Contest!

We want to see all of those pics of families smiling through the most painful matching outfits, poses, settings, and any of the other trying moments that come with the membership of family.

Submit your pics by 9pm pst on 6/30 and the 3 most comfortably uncomfortable photos win a prize package of a $100 Sanuk gift certificate, official Sanuk merchandise, and a signed copy of the New York Times bestselling book Awkward Family Photos!

Presented by PetSmart Charities

Congratulations to Renee and his winning caption:

Rex calmly accepted his fate when he realized that what awaits him couldn’t possibly be worse than being dressed in ridiculous outfits, fed the same bland meals day after day, and being kept on a short leash…… The dog wasn’t too worried either.

Take me to your breeder.
