Say cheese! It's ParentMap's Kid Selfies Photo Contest, sponsored by Verity Credit Union.
The selfie is a cultural phenomenon that is here to stay and has even been named the modern artist's tool for self-discovery. We want to see how creative the next generation of selfie-takers can be, beyond the "duck face."
Submit self-portraits taken by your budding photographer along with their creative descriptions and you'll be entered to win awesome prizes!
This contest is now closed. See the winners here.
Our online contest runs Jan. 20 through Feb. 8, 2015. Submit up to one new picture a day and vote on your favorite photo up to once per day. Invite your friends to vote on or submit their own photos, too.
Winners will be chosen by ParentMap editors from the 20 photos with the most reader votes.
