June’s Winner
Who doesn’t believe they have the cutest tot ever? Think your tot has a fighting chance in Hollywood? Now you have the opportunity to get them discovered and show them off to the world while possibly winning money for college too. TheCuteKid.com 
is the world’s largest and most respected online photo contest. Currently, they are running monthly contests and award winners in five areas: Baby (birth-12mos), Toddler (12-24 months), Preschooler (2-4 years), Big Kid (4-8 years), and Pre-Teen (8-12 years). Each monthly winner is entered in a chance to be “2007 CuteKid of the Year”. The grand prize includes a $25,000 college tuition fund! That sounds worth it to me. Although, by the time my kids hit college, $25K will only be a drop in a bucket. Even if you don’t hit the grand prize the monthly prizes aren’t too shabby. It includes: Treasury bonds, gifts cards, and a photo portrait session. TheCuteKid’s judges panel consists of 15 seasoned entertainment industry professionals, talent scouts, and casting agents. If you’re worried voting criteria is too subjective, no hanging chads here. The company uses an online VoteTracker system to provide consistency. Furthermore, as a safety precaution, only authorized talent agents can access contestant photos and your child’s information is kept within TheCuteKid.com database. Only winners’ pictures are published not personal information. Sound too good to be true, well, there is a tiny catch…uploading the sweetest pictures of your little one is free, but entering the contest costs you $19.95…a small price to pay for a shot at the Hollywood big bucks. (Tot snob note: My aunt who has two daughters listed with Kim Dawson Agency says that submitting photos for discovery doesn’t have to cost anything. You can send your photos to most agencies for free.)
