Win Cash and Prizes from a Baby Photo Contest

Do you think your child is cuter than anyone else on the planet? Of course you do, as it's a primary duty of parenthood to put your kids above everyone else in every category imaginable! But if you really want to put your opinion to the test, you should enter a baby photo contest to see how your child stacks up against others. This is actually a terrific way to win cash and prizes, all while showing off just how photogenic your little one is.

Baby photo contests are plentiful and easy to find. Many companies that manufacture products such as formula, strollers, playpens, diapers, and other related items often hold these events as a fun way to generate positive press and customer loyalty, so all you have to do is check in at these manufacturers' official websites every once in a while for announcements. Most of the time, the company's own products are offered as prizes, and some even throw in cash (or perhaps a savings bond) to the overall winner. In addition, baby photo contests typically reward more than one entrant, and often pay out to second, third, or even tenth place. That makes things more exciting for everyone, and obviously gives you more opportunities to win some great swag.

Entering a baby photo contest is one thing, but winning is quite another. If the company sponsoring the event has its own judging panel, then there's not much you can to do boost your chances of victory. But if the winner is determined by open voting, there are certain steps you can (and should) take to increase your odds of walking away with a prize. First, be sure to go through some preliminary voting with friends and family. Take several cute photographs of your child and have those closest to you vote on which one is the best. Make that one your entry. Next, be sure to vote for your own photograph as often as the rules allow. Some baby photo contests let entrants vote once a day, while others allow for only once during the entire event, so check out the rules and do what you can for yourself. And finally, recruit your friends, family, and anyone else you can think of to vote as often as possible. If you belong to an online community, you might want to ask your virtual friends to vote as well.

Participating in a baby photo contest is a fun way to show off how cute your child is, and can also lead to amazing prizes in the form of cash and free merchandise. I've even heard of some babies being "discovered" by modeling agencies just from having their pictures in a baby photo contest, so you never know what else can happen!
