Frequently asked questions

DreamWorks Birthday Shout Out is a monthly on-air birthday greeting for DreamWorks viewers. It features photos of children celebrating their birthday each month.

We are currently accepting entries across Asia and Australia.

Entries must be submitted prior to your child’s birthday and can be submitted up to two months in advance. For example, if your child’s birthday is in December then the entry should be submitted in October or November.

The selection of entries for DreamWorks Birthday Shout Out are made on a first come first served basis so only one entry should be made per birthday.

Strike a pose! Here are some easy tips to help you when taking a photo of your child:

• Photos should be high resolution at 1000 x 1000 pixels in .jpeg or .png format at a maximum size of 10MB
• Photo should be portrait style
• Your child’s face should be clearly visible and central to the frame
• No selfies
• Make sure only one child appears in your photo
• Photos must not display any personal information such as name, address or location
• Ensure brand names, products or logos are not featured on clothing or displayed in the background of the photo

Entries will be selected on a first come first served basis. Selected entries will be included in our DreamWorks Birthday Shout Out shown on the channel throughout each month so there will be plenty of opportunity to tune in and see if your child is featured!

Any photos and personal information submitted will be used as part of DreamWorks Birthday Shout Out and to measure and enhance our services. For further information on NBCUniversal’s privacy practices, please see NBCUniversal Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise required by law and except where your details (e.g., photo and basic information) form part of a produced promotion, personal data will be deleted or anonymised within three months from submission.

You will have an opportunity to review the details of your entry prior to submission, but if you make a mistake you can submit another straight away and we will use your final entry.
