This probably all sounds great to you, but you may be wondering how to enter the 2010 Regis and Kelly Baby Contest. Fortunately, the process is quite simple and is explained fully on their website. Most people will want to submit their photos online, which is the fastest way to get it in for the deadline which is coming up pretty quickly, at the end of January. On the website for the contest, there is a “submit now” button in the middle of the screen, which you can click on for detailed instructions.

Another way to enter in your baby’s photo is to email the picture directly to the 2010 Regis and Kelly Baby Contest, to the specific email that is included on their website. The contest rules stipulate that you must submit a photo in a GIF or JPG format to qualify, just to keep the images uniform within their system. In addition, the dimensions of the photo that you submit should be no larger than 2000 by 1500 pixels. This photo, once it has been submitted, is the property of Regis and Kelly, and they have the right to show this image on their show or website. This only allows more people to see how cute your baby is!

The final deadline for submissions is 5 pm Eastern Standard Time, on January 29th, 2010. Be sure to get this photo in either through email or directly on through their online submission system by this final cutoff, or your child will not be fit for consideration. The best advice is to have fun with this contest, and take as many snapshots as possible to capture your baby at the height of cuteness. For a list of the full rules and regulations, it’s best to take a look at Regis and Kelly’s Baby Contest website.

Regis Philbin is one of the most famous faces and voices in American broadcasting, and has been for decades, even setting a Guinness World Record in 2009 for most hours on camera. He made his television debut over forty years ago and since then has hosted game shows, talk shows, and other types of programming. An Emmy-winning icon, he has become most well-known for his work on the “Live with Regis” program as well as the hit game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” both of which he has won awards for in the past. This Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is only yet another way in which he is giving back prizes to the American public.

Regis’s bubbly American sweetheart of a co-host, Kelly Ripa, has also had a lengthy and dynamic career on daytime and prime time television alike. She earned this highly esteemed seat on television next to Regis, having hosted the show now for eight years, receiving seven Daytime Emmy nominations in the meantime. Other television shows she has helped make successful include “Hope and Faith,” and “Ed.” She also runs her own production company, and has appeared in several feature films. Her participation in the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is one of the annual events that she claims to enjoy the most as part of the program.

With such formidable hosts, it’s no wonder that the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is able to draw in the heavyweights in sponsors, and inspire so many people to enter in photographs of their babies. The competition is fierce, but the glory is well worth it, with such great prizes attached and the chance to meet Regis and Kelly in person. If you are interested in taking part, there are still a few weeks left to enter and be a part of Regis and Kelly history.

Some of the cutest shots can be taken candidly, but for a contest like this, parents may want to invest a little time in effort in posing their babies for the camera. Taking photographs of babies can come naturally, or can require a little bit more effort. There are a few different techniques that you could use to really wow the judges of the 2010 Regis and Kelly Baby Contest this year, including variations in wardrobe, posing techniques, and the lighting and background that you use.

Looking at past winners and the crowd favorites of baby photos, it’s clear that the focus of the photograph should definitely be the baby’s face. The whole point of the contest is to find the cutest baby out there, not to judge the most artistic photo. So get down to it and capture your baby in a variety of moods and outfits that will highlight his or her little face at its happiest. If there is a certain toy or face you make that never fails to bring a smile to baby’s face, by all means use this to get that delighted laugh across for the judges. The winner of the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 will probably be that kind of baby that is happy and healthy, to convey a positive image of parenting.

Dressing your baby the right way for this contest is another way to draw attention to the photograph and help distinguish yours from the thousands of other entries. Most babies have their favorite outfits, especially if they are on the older end of the contest age spectrum. The Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 allows entrants up to four years of age, by which point most babies have found that they have a certain style of their own. Let this shine! The best way to succeed is to take as many pictures as possible, and capture the baby in all moods, for that special winning shot.

To get started, you will want to take a current photo of your baby. The contest rules for the Regis and Kelly Baby Search 2010 state that the photo has to have been taken in the last month, and that it should not be a professional photo. Certainly, if you are a particularly talented photographer, it can be professional in appearance. You can play around with wardrobe, setting and lighting to get different cute-enhancing effects with your baby and make his or her personality really shine. Have fun with it, because there’s nothing cuter than a happy baby.

Out of this photo shoot alone you should aim for trying to capture at least 50-100 pictures, before your baby starts to get tired and cranky. This can be a great excuse to have some new photos if you’ve been meaning to anyways. After this, you can submit the best of the bunch to the Regis and Kelly Baby Search 2010 website, although you are only allowed one entry per child. This holds true if you have twins or triplets. If you are entering them in as one entrant, you are only allowed one group shot of all of them together.

The photographs can be submitted directly through the easy uploading process available on the Regis and Kelly Baby Search 2010 website, or to the email address that is listed there as well. Now thecutekid.com is only one way to get your baby’s face out there for the public to see, with contests like this. The best way to achieve positive results and have the most fun with the whole proceedings is to enter as many contests as possible, ensuring a lifetime supply of great memories of your baby.

Congrats Kirrah, Faith & Layna.

Every year, Regis and Kelly conduct a Beautiful Baby Contest, and 2010 is no exception. If you are thinking of entering your little ones into this for the chance to win fabulous prizes, including a $125,000 scholarship and the cover of Parenting Magazine, there is perhaps no better way to prepare and get an idea of what the judges are looking for than to examine the past winners. The judging panel is composed of a series of industry professionals who know a cute baby when they see one, and looking at the semi-finalists that were picked out last year it’s clear that these people know what they are talking about.

Last year’s winner of the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest is named Soraya Dennis, from Irvine, CA. Little Soraya won based on her winning smile, huge eyes, and personality that seemed to leap off the page. The decision was not an easy one, with judges remarking that they were pleasantly surprised not only by how many cute babies there are out there, but how well their parents were able to photograph them. As anyone who has tried to pose their baby knows, sometimes getting them to sit still long enough for a winning shot can be a real challenge. Soraya was more than up for it, however.

She managed to beat out four other adorable babies, who were the semi-finalists. Taking a look at their photos, it’s easy to see why this year’s Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is going to be another difficult one to judge. The four semi-finalists from 2009 were Charlotte Madara from Abington, MA, a brunette with a mischievous smile, and Layna Rios from Houston, TX, who really gave a new meaning to the term “baby face” with her angelic brown eyes. The final two were Kirrah Adams from Houma, LA, and Faith Blower, from San Clemente, CA. All of these babies deserve gold stars, but Soraya took the cake.

The competition this year for the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 promises to be just as fierce, as entries have already been pouring in from all over the nation. These kids are too adorable for words, but it’s not too late to enter in your own superstar. Entries will continue to be accepted through the end of January, so now is the time to get started with that photo shoot and go for the gold with your baby.

One of the biggest prizes of the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is that the winning photograph’s baby will appear on the cover of Parenting Magazine. This can be great exposure if you have any interest in starting your baby down the path of a child modeling or acting career, or even simply if you just want to have a truly unique souvenir of the baby’s formative years. The other major prize is a $125,000 scholarship, which is the reason for entry for many different families.

We all know that the price of education has gone through the roof in recent years, even for public education. Your baby deserves to have a fair nest egg saved away, and this could be a unique way to set aside some money for the future. Even with scholarships, the price of the university system is only expected to increase in the coming decades ahead, so this is a wonderful bonus. With $125,000, you should be able to pay for the cost of four years of tuition as well as any living expenses that your child will need when going away to college. This is part of what makes entering the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 such a good idea, in the minds of many parents.

Of course, one has to figure in that a good portion of this $125,000 prize will be taken away for taxes, but that still leaves a high sum that your child will much appreciate in the coming years. The Regis and Kelly Baby Contest 2010 is a fun, easy way to potentially make some money, and immortalize your child’s face on the cover of a magazine as highly regarded as Parenting. Even if you don’t win, this is a great excuse to take even more adorable photos of your little pumpkin.

Online baby contests are a dime a dozen. Doing a google search for “baby contest” can pull-up a ton of websites claiming to be a legitimate baby contest. The difficult thing for moms is choosing a safe baby photo contest and knowing exactly what to look for when choosing a contest for their baby. This article will attempt to answer some common questions concerning online baby contests.

Questions about Online Cute Baby Contests:

How do I pick a safe baby contest? When you’re considering entering your precious child into a baby contest online you need to look for three main things:

#1. How is the baby contest judged? Choose a contest where professional baby modeling agents and talent scouts do the judging. Professional baby modeling judges know what to look for and have a good idea of who could succeed in the baby modeling world. Plus if child modeling professionals are judging the baby contest you know your child or baby may get spotted for a casting call or modeling job.

#2. What are the baby contest prizes? You should make sure the cute baby contest is worth your time and effort… More importantly if they charge a fee make sure that the fee is worth the prizes granted to the winners of the cute baby contest.  For example: If a baby contest company charges $25 to enter the contest and the winner gets just $100 you should just save your money.

#3. How big is the baby photo contest that you’re considering to join? Small baby contests may look decent on your child’s or baby’s modeling resume but those baby contest references aren’t going to provide any real modeling exposure or industry credibility. Gives your baby a chance to get noticed by talent scouts looking for baby models for casting calls… That can be accomplished by joining an official and safe baby contest judged by top talent scouts and baby modeling agents such as: theCuteKid Baby Contest, Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby Contest, Parents Magazine Baby Contest, or the Babytalk GMA Photo Contest, Those are known by big brands are are safe places for your child or baby’s photograph to get some real child modeling exposure.

Avoid Baby Contest Scams!

You can also try asking other mom’s about safe baby contests for your cute kid to join. Try baby forums, blogs, or other places where moms can get together and chat.

It is also a good idea to check with the Better Business Bureau before entering a scam baby contest.

Is it easy to join a baby contest?

How easy is it to join a baby photo contest? Very easy! In today’s digital world every one’s cell phone, digital camera or even computer has a camera good enough for taking your baby’s photo. Almost ALL legitimate and safe baby contests online will allow you to upload a digital baby photo.
