Do you think your baby has what it takes to the 2016 Gerber Spokesbaby?
If so, there is still time to enter the 2015 Gerber Baby search. The baby food and clothing company is accepting photo submissions through Friday online. The winner can take home a $50,000 cash prize and will be the 2016 Gerber Spokesbaby, which means their child could appear in nationwide Gerber ads and other Gerber communications via Facebook, Instagram and on the Gerber website. A panel of judges decides the winner.

There will also be six ”Milestone winners,” which will be determined by vote totals. The milestones include include birth +, supported sitter, sitter, crawler, toddler and pre-schooler. Those winners will each receive $3,500 and $750 in Gerber children’s wear. Online voting will begin on Oct. 28. You can search Gerber’s photo gallery to see who has entered so far.
So, what are the Gerber judges looking for? According to the Gerber website, the pictures will be judged on (1) visual appeal of the child in the photo; (2) expressiveness of the child in the photo; and (3) consistency with Gerber’s heritage and mission.
