HOW AND WHEN WINNERS WILL BE SELECTED AND NOTIFIED

Potential semi-finalists will be notified by telephone during the week of March 2, 2009. Three (3) attempts will be made to contact the potential semi-finalists. If contact with potential semi-finalists is not made within three (3) days potential semi-finalist will be disqualified and an alternate will be selected, time permitting.

Ten (10) semi-finalists will be chosen from all qualifying entries. Entries will be judged by representatives of the LIVE and Parenting magazine staffs.

All entries will be judged based on the visual appeal of the baby to the judging panels as evidenced by the photograph. All decisions of the judges are final and binding as to all contest matters.

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.
