Adventures of a Military Family of 8: lily

That's the name of the competition I entered my daughter in.
I realized that in the rush of trying to post her voting link since the contest ends in 3 days, I FAILED to mention all the details of the competition.

I apologize for that.
Well this is not just a competition to see which child is the cutest, there are perks for the Winner.
The child that wins the competition,

gets a 1 year modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models,
Be the US face of Britain's most loved brand of clothing "Next Direct"
and the BEST PRIZE is....
A $100,000 Education Scholarship

The Scholarship would ensure that at least 1 of my children will definitely have a chance at a College Education. I wish so much that I had know about this contest sooner.

Part of me feels so down that I know she doesn't stand a chance in making the top 50, but a big part of me has hope ;)
The top 50 finalists will be flown to Universal Studios to be interviewed for the winning spot.

I was saddened by some posts I read where moms are giving out gift cards in exchange for votes, and other moms are in groups that do daily voting to ensure that group of children will make it through, i know that as a mom you want your child to win this competition, but as a person who tries to be as fair as possible, it downed my spirits a little to see that.

I was happily surprised to see that Lily is on page 83 out of 155 pages, since I just entered her yesterday ;) She is still hopeful, though I have constantly been reminding her that it will be okay if she is not chosen.

Thank you very much for your votes, if you voted for her, continue to vote for her, and or will vote for her ;)

Here is the link to vote

just in case you really want too ;) lol

Remember, you can vote once a day per email address ;)

A few days ago, I was reading an article on a contest to find a child model for a company, Lily was laying on the couch with me and she saw the article, she read everything about it, and asked me if I could please enter her picture from the Father/Daughter Dance.

After thinking about it for a couple of days, I sat her down and explained that I would enter her if she understood that it was a contest for votes, and since she was going to enter the contest so late, she might not have a chance anymore and that I needed her to know that it had nothing to do with people liking her as a person, she understood and agreed. So in keeping my word to her, I entered her in the Child Model contest.

We want as many people as possible to have a say in choosing the young model who'll become the face of NEXT DIRECT in the US. So a public vote (through Facebook) will decide the 50 entrants whom we will invite to our fabulous live final at Universal Studios, LA, on the weekend of April 24th and 25th, 2010.
The deadline for entries is 7am (ET) on March 15, 2010 . . . and voting closes at 7am (ET) on March 18th, 2010.

She chose the picture and she chose to have her full name listed instead of her nickname, meaning it's under "Liliana" and not "Lily" oh dear, she's changing names already, lol. One of the many reasons why I decided to enter her is because this contest DOES NOT allow pictures in bathingssuits, or pictures containing poses that are too mature for the child's age, it's all about capturing the "spirit" of a child. I'm all for that!!!

So if you think that she should have a shot at being one of the 50 finalists, please vote for her ;)

Here is the Link

I got a few comments that some pages have the vote button not working, I have emailed the company and I am waiting for a response. thank you and sorry for the trouble if it's too much work.

Remember that you can vote once per email address, daily ;) Thank you so much in advance ;)
