Only a week away until the deadline for submissions for the Cutest Baby Contest. We continue to get new entries every day and all the entries definitely qualify as being cute! So, if you haven’t entered yet, no more procrastinating!

I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I will have no part in the selection of the finalists. I will be turning all the photos to a group of photographer friends that I trust very much. I will not disclose names or personal details and they are aware that the photos are for the Cutest Baby Contest. They will then go through all the submissions and narrow them all down to a Top Ten List. The Top Ten List will be presented for voting starting on February 18 with the winner announced on February 29.

Dropping a hint…

Speaking of February 29, which is a day that only comes around once every four years, Neal Jacob Photography will be having a Leap Day Special. This Special will only be available on February 29 and you won’t want to miss it, so make sure that you check the blog on February 29 to find out the winner of the Cutest Baby Contest and the details about the Leap Day Special. This is something you should tell your friends about, because if you miss it, it won’t happen again until 2012!

We were having some technical difficulties with the e-mail address for submitting entries the the Cutest Baby Contest, so we setup a new address. Please make sure your submissions are being sent to: cutestbaby@nealjacob.info

Thank you

It’s time for…The Cutest Baby Contest!!!

Here’s two of mine!
Neal Jacob Photography is looking for the cutest baby (well, I mean the cutest other than my own!). So, tell your friends, tell your family, tell your enemies (okay, maybe not your enemies), the Cutest Baby Contest is here!

How to enter:

• E-Mail a recent photo that you or someone else took (not a professional photo) of your baby to: cutestbaby@nealjacob.info. This is a special e-mail address and will only be active for the duration of the contest.
• Your baby must be between birth and 2 years old.
• You may only submit one photo per child per entry (Yes, if you have more than one child, you may enter them).

Please include:

• Child’s name
• Child’s date of birth
• Your name
• Your phone number
• Your E-Mail address
• A statement saying “Yes, I give Neal Jacob Photography permission to use Name of Child’s photo on the blog.”

Entries will be accepted beginning 7:00 AM (EST) on Friday, January 25, 2008 through 11:59 PM (EST) Thursday, February 14, 2008.

The entries will then be pared down to the top 10 entries. Entries will be judged by members of the professional photography community. My wife will serve as final authority (after all…. oh never mind, I could get into a lot of trouble with that comment!) . Then beginning on Monday, February 18 at 7:00 AM (EST) the voting will begin! When voting begins, tell everyone you know to go to NealJacob.info (this blog) and vote for your baby. Voting will continue through 8:00 PM (EST) Thursday, February 28, 2008 and the winner will be announced on Friday, February 29, 2008. Vote early, vote often.

Here’s what you win:

• 3rd Place: A Portrait Session from Neal Jacob Photography (that’s us!) to be used in 2008. Value: $175.
• 2nd Place: A Portrait Session from Neal Jacob Photography (that’s still us!) to be used in 2008 and an 8 x 10 print from the portrait session. Value: About $235 - give or take a few dollars.
• THE GRAND PRIZE: A FREE Membership in The Lifetime Portrait Club from Neal Jacob Photography (yes, that would be us)! Value: PRICELESS

All entries become the property of Neal Jacob Photography and will not be returned. Entry via e-mail only. No purchase necessary. Any questions? Good!

May the best baby win. ***

*** My babies are not entering, otherwise, you wouldn’t have a chance at winning.
