In celebration of new life and anticipation of spring weather, Huron Regional Medical Center (HRMC) is hosting its tenth annual Cutest Baby contest during March and April, according to Kim Rieger, VP of marketing for HRMC.
“Ask any parent or grandparent and they will tell you their baby is cute – and he or she most certainly is,” said Rieger. “This contest gives us a chance to have a little competitive fun searching for ‘the cutest baby’ while celebrating the miracle of new life.”
During the month of March, parents and grandparents are encouraged to enter a picture or short video of their precious baby on Facebook. The nominee must live in HRMC’s seven-county service area and be under the age of 12 months as of March 1, 2018. Therefore, the baby must have been born between March 2, 2017, and March 30, 2018.
Then in April, the contest will again feature daily voting on Facebook. “People are encouraged to vote once every 24 hours,” explained Rieger. “So, parents and grandparents, promote your entry to keep the votes coming in throughout the month.”
Winners will be chosen via a People’s Choice vote. The top vote getter will win the grand prize of a $100 certificate to a photo studio in Huron, baby gear valued at $100, commemorative onesie and blanket and a starring role in an upcoming HRMC television commercial. The runner-up winner will receive a commemorative plaque and baby gear valued at $50.
Entry deadline is Friday, March 30, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. Voting opens at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, April 2. To learn more and enter, just visit HRMC’s Facebook page or www.huronregional.org/cutest-baby-contest.
