2008 Cover Kids' Contest
Want to see your child on the cover of Carolina Parent Magazine?
Submit ONE photo with only the child that you are entering, not a photo with other siblings. To enter multiple children, please send an individual picture of each child with an entry form and fee for each child. Please label photos with each child's name. Photos will not be returned. For best consideration, please do not send a school photo.

Three finalists will be selected and photographed by Tamara Lackey Photography in April. Only children selected as finalists will be notified by phone. The winning contestant's photo will be featured on the cover of the June 2008 issue.
