I entered both of the boys in the Mix 96.9 Baby Idol contest. I had to enter both of them to be fair, but honestly, Alex's photo was cuter, so I asked my friends/family to vote for Alex's photo since you can only vote once per email per day. I have 6 active email addresses, so I voted for both boys equally. However, only Alex made it through to the 2nd round and I have just been notified that he's through to the final round of 50 babies!
The grand prize winner gets $2000.00 and a year's membership to the Phoenix Children's Museum for 4 people. I doubt he will win as the contest is based on number of votes and I just don't have that big of a network, but it is pretty cool to make it to the final round! I do have an issue in that the photo I posted is one of the ones from their 6 month photo shoot. I thought that I had been given the copyright release by the photographer, but it turns out to only be the print release. I have contacted her to see if we can work something out if he wins, so that I can buy the copyright off her or something, but if she tells me I need to pull him from the contest, I will. I will be sad though. I emailed her yesterday, but I haven't heard from her yet. I know she's been online because she posted some stuff on Fb today. I hope she contacts me soon so I can start hitting up my Fb friends for votes!
Here are the photos that I entered in the contest.
Update: Alex made it into the top 50 babies (final round) but did not win the contest. I guess I'll have to try again next year!
