Yep, the deadline is quickly approaching. As of midnight Saturday, I will no longer accept any more entries into the "Essence of Childhood" portrait contest. So this is it, stop procrastinating and get off your can and enter your little cutie for their chance to be the Grand Prize Winner! I know you have at least one snapshot that shows just how cute your child is. And that is all it takes to enter, just one cute snapshot. Simply email the photo to indigoskyephoto@bellsouth.net and they will be entered as well. The contest is open for all children ages newborn to 13.
Now I must say that I am truly disappointed that there is a very said 4 entries in the 6-13 age categories, all of which are in the 6-9 age group. Now I now that this can be an awkward age for children, photographically speaking. But seriously, the missing front teeth (or braces) and everything else that comes with this age is PART of what makes them who they are. And honestly, that is what embodies the "Essence of Childhood". So don't hold back because you think that they just aren't as cute as they used to be or will be when their teeth grow back in or they get their braces of. Children are beautiful just the way they are. It is their innocence and the adventurous way they experience the world around them that makes them so uniquely beautiful. Their physical beauty, in my eyes as a photographer, takes a backseat to their individual personalities.
Okay, I will get off my soapbox now and just leave you with a reminder of some of the great prizes in store for the Grand Prize Winner.
