CK's Most Adorable Munchkins Photo Contest is back...with a twist!! Only about a week left to go...


This year YOU will be the cover photographer. We want YOU to shoot a photo for our 2013 cover of CK Child. So get your cameras out, get your munchkin(s) fabbed up with a fabulous Spring wardrobe and stage a 'spring-themed' set that you think would be perfect for our next spring cover! 
Where Do I Start? What will work?
Well...anywhere and anything! There really are minimal rules for what the cover should be. It must feature local children at a location within the boundaries of C-K, it must be your own original photograph, it must have a 'Spring' feel and it must be a current photo. Other than that, be as creative as you'd like! It can be a simple photo of your favourite munchkins partaking in a favourite Spring-type activity or you can set up an extravagant set design with props. It will be a little trickier at this time of the year since the air is becoming cooler and crisper but that's all part of the fun! 
Don't forget, photos MUST be current so get those cameras out and shoot the perfect cover :)
Not sure if Your Photo will Be a Good Fit??
Download the template below and place it over top your photo to see what it would look like as the cover:
Check out a couple of our past Spring issues for inspiration ;)

GOOD LUCK to everyone - we cannot wait to see your entries!!

EXCITING NEWS!! Grand Prize Announcment (you can win the cover of CK Child AND...)
