CentralJersey.MomsLikeMe.com is partnering with the Newspaper in Education Program of the Home News Tribune and Courier News to launch the Cutest Baby Contest, a fundraiser to support literacy efforts in local schools. Starting at 9:01 a.m. Nov. 9, click HERE to enter a photo of your cute baby. Photos can be posted until 4 p.m. Dec. 4. Then, the voting begins. Click here to see the gallery of entries. Until Jan. 9, you can log on and vote for the photos you like best. Three winners will be selected by user votes and receive photography sessions and print package from Heather Mosher Photography: a full photo session and $1,200 digital print package for first place ($1,400 value); a mini session and a $700 digital print package for second place ($900 value) and a mini session and a $500 digital print package for third place ($500 value). The Newspaper in Education Program is designed to help every child understand current events and begin a reading habit that lasts a lifetime. One-hundred percent of donations from the CentralJersey.MomsLikeMe.com Cutest Baby Contest will benefit Gannett NJ Group Newspaper in Education Foundation, a non-profit foundation. To enter your cute baby now, click HERE to enter.

Ladies, get your photos sent in to this one. I just looked at the website and the photographer has a great eye, and her work is lovely. If you can win a free session w/her, you'd be very lucky!

I'm curious, the winners are "selected by user votes", does that mean the pictures with the most votes or the pictures with the most interesting comments in their votes or what?? This is obviously an AMAZING contest and one that I'd LOVE to win but I doubt I'd ever get the most votes because I don't know too many other moms on this site enough to beg them to vote for me LOL!
Jenny, mommy to two Princes and married to one! :)

Her work is fantastic!
JennyC, it is the picture with the most votes. For this contest, because this is a fundraiser for the NIE, there is a suggested donation to NIE to vote. You can vote as many times as you like and feel free to get the word out with friends and family. Use Facebook, Twitter, whatever you can. We'll be spreading the word on the site and on MyCentralJersey.com to remind people to visit the gallery and vote, as well.
Click HERE to read all the rules for entry and voting.
Good luck to everyone!

I was considering entering, but by looking at the site, it's going to be difficult for those that are not too internet savvy to find the kids. You know some people just skim thru the pages, so when I first got on there I thought there were only the 3 kids photo's that come up on the home page from link, but of course after reading it then I realized you have to pick by the letters. Just not realistic for people to click on each letter. I'm sure the "A" babies will be chosen. Maybe next time if the format is changed. thanks

EricsMom, it costs money for people to vote online, $5 per vote, OR you have to have an official ballot from the newspaper! So, I don't think people will actually just be going to the site to spend $5 on a baby they don't know. I don't think the A babies really have any advantage!! If you're going to send an email to your friends to vote online (if they'll spend 5 bucks for you! LOL), you would just tell them to go to the letter of your last name. If you're using the official ballot, then it doesn't matter what letter, I'm sure there is a different way to vote using other information! So don't let that deter you!!! It's a GREAT prize, definitely worth giving it a try at least!! :)

EricsMom, you also can send your friends and family the link directly to your child's photo by using the "Email this to a friend" button next to the photo. Hope that helps, too.
There are lots of cuties on there. Good luck to everyone!

Be who you want your children to become.

Hi, Jen. You can enter a child up to 3 years old, as of Nov. 9, 2009.
Good luck!
Also, a note to everyone: Voting doesn't start until 9:01 a.m. Dec. 7. There was some confusion about this, and it was posted as 4:01 p.m. today in a few places. The official rules state that voting begins at 9:01 a.m. Dec. 7.
