Cute Kid Contest

"The cute kid contest" is not the only one. There are many others, some are as good and some are not even close. Among those contests there is one that's totally free to enter, but free comes with a price: lower prize (one tenth that offered by the cute kid contest), no obvious modelling career attached, and is for American babies only. Here is their ad:



Good luck.

There are several factors that can affect the results of the contest and no one can predicted it, but there are common sense factors that might help increase your chances of winning:

- The more photos of your kids you submit the more your chances of your kid's winning the grand prize.
- Pictures taken by a professional are usually of higher quality than the ones you take yourself, which might also affect the judges opinion.
- From the past years' results, the "posing" kind of photos wins most of the time vs. the natural type of photos.
- There are different levels of the contest, make sure you participate in the right age-group contest.
- Pick a day when your kid is really happy, like their birth day, or after a day in Disney Land. It will reflect on the cuteness of your child.

Any parent, guardian, a relative, or a friend can participate in the contest on behalf of the kid. However, all legal documents related to the prize or any modeling business have to be signed by the parents or the legal guardian(s) of the winner/model. Makes sense, right?

The contest is open to the whole world. Any parent of a cute kid can participate on behalf of their child as long as they can prove it with a high quality photo.

The reason you should be careful with this kind of contests is that there are some unhappy participants in the contest as well as there are others who are happy with it. If you keep searching you'll know that there are parents who have been overcharged and others who opted in the VIP membership and the only way for them to cancel it is to dispute it with their credit card company.

Although the number of complaints from the cute kid contest in particular is not significant and they could be either special cases or a bad propaganda made by a competitor, still you need to be careful. And you can be careful by using a method of payment other than your debit card or an electronic check because you don't want to give access to anyone online to your bank account. Paypal is a safer alternative if accepted by the merchant, and a small limit credit card is the way I would go.

This applies to anything you buy or pay for online. Never too careful when paying online.
