BONUS ONLINE INFO:
Want to be sure the judges take notice of your child's photo? Here are a few helpful hints from our judges.

1. The cover of Valley Parent always prominently features a child's face, so be sure your child's face is clearly visible in the photo you choose, i.e. no icing covered faces, no hats or masks that obscure the face, no strange facial expressions, no profile shots, etc.

2. The photos that readers send in are used for judging purposes only. The photos themselves will not be used on the cover, so do NOT choose a photo based on the interesting background, funny pose or artsy flair. None of those aspects will be considered. The judges look for a winning child, not a winning photo.

3. Send in a photo file large enough for print. File should be close to or over 1 MB (300 dpi for you techy types out there). Small photos are hard for the judges to see and impossible to print.

4. The judges know that the children chosen will need to do a photo shoot, so avoid shots that make your child seem brooding or shy.

5. Professional photographs are accepted, but not preferred.

In summary, send us a snapshot that allows the judges to see your child's bright, cheerful face. It is the Fresh Faces Cover Contest, after all! Good luck and thank you for entering!
