After much deliberation, 2009 Miller’s Baby & Child Contest winners have been crowned! Thanks to all of you, this year's contest was a huge success. High levels of both posting and voting participation lead to 11,426 entries, easily breaking last year's record. With your help, we were able to narrow the submissions down to eighty fantastic qualifying images. Our panel of judges took it from there, selecting their own favorites, resulting in twenty-one truly stunning portraits, including the Grand Prize winner, Flawless by Carol Scott. With winners now selected, Miller’s will be giving away $24,000 in cash prizes to the families of the winning portraits.
We want to express our gratitude to each of you for making this year’s contest the best yet, as well as thank our judges including: Elizabeth & Trey Homan of San Antonio, TX, Brianna Graham of Rockford, MI, Dave Huntsman of Versailles, KY, Michael & Tina Timmons of Vassar, MI, Peg Buckner of Fallon, NV, Damon Tucci of Orlando, FL, and Jessica Vogel of Shelbyville, KY. We appreciate both the time and expertise they shared with us this year.
Congratulations to our 2009 winners! If you haven't had a chance to check out the winning portraits, view them here now.
