At the end of March, as a gesture to our users who are isolated at home, we unlocked our highly popular automatic black and white photo colorization feature, MyHeritage InColor
, for free and unlimited use for the next month. We also challenged our users from around the globe to share their colorized photos with us using the hashtag #ColorBeatsCoronavirusBlues for a chance to win a free Complete subscription to MyHeritage. We have been selecting a new winner each week.
This week, we’ve seen even more incredible entries: wedding photos, childhood photos, photos of ancestors at work and in military uniform, all brought vividly to life by colorization.
Here are some of our favorites from this week:

I never met my granddad (bottom right). He died a long time before I was born and, although I have a few photos of him, I’ve never seen him in colour so it’s hard to picture him in my mind. What a handsome cheeky chap. — #ColorBeatsCoronavirusBlues #FamilyHistory @MyHeritage pic.twitter.com/bi14d5RYXe

So many stunning entries! This week’s prize, however, goes to this beautiful entry from Jennifer Wilson of West Virginia:
One of the things I love about @MyHeritage is connecting with cousins I've never met. I'd never seen this photo of my mother before (she's on the left) until a 3rd cousin e-mailed it to me. #colorbeatscoronavirusblues pic.twitter.com/YZPzNcgjb6

Jennifer submitted multiple entries this week, each of them with a lovely photo and an intriguing story to go with it:
Black and white of my mother and cousin on the Chesapeake about 1962. What's super special about this? Sent it to a cousin who we have been estranged, and she messaged me back. It's a start. Thanks so much Mom in heaven and @MyHeritage #colorbeatscoronavirusblues pic.twitter.com/bfPLHdp0dy

I never met my grandfather, he died 5 years before I was born. But here he is in his volunteer fireman dress shirt. My dad followed in his footsteps and was a volunteer fireman for 50 years until his death. #ColorBeatsCoronavirusBlues @MyHeritage #firefighters pic.twitter.com/BUEMod4g09

I never met my great-grandfather, who was a WWI veteran, and I don't remember my great-grandmother who died three months after I was born, but this photo colorized turns them from just faces into family. #colorbeatscoronavirusblues @MyHeritage pic.twitter.com/AZ4ESqJFan
