The Perfect Online Photo Contest Picture

Here are some ideas to think about when you are trying to decide what picture you should submit to a online kids photo contest.

Judges like to see your child’s face. So make sure that the picture is large enough for the judges to get a good view. Crop the picture so your child’s face is the main item in the photograph you submit to the child or baby photo contest.

The judges want to be able to see your child’s personality in the picture. So catch your child when they are awake. The judges are looking for that something special and a happy smiling face is important. CuteKid judge Jacque Pedersen of Maier Management says, “I like to see smiles and children laughing but a great surprise look or other comical look also works.”

The eyes are the “window to the soul” and online photo contest judges like to see that special twinkle. So make sure that your child’s eyes are the focal point of the picture.

When you submit photos to a kid photo contest, make sure that your child is the only one in the picture. Judges don’t want to be distracted. They want to see your child. For that reason you should limit the amount of props used in the photo. Keep the clothing simple, basic colors work best. You will also want to eliminate unnecessary background.

Most of all you want to give a kid online photo contest judge a reason to click on your child’s picture and see it enlarged. So make sure that the photo you choose leaps off the page enough to grab the judge’s attention.
