Regis and Kelly want Sweeties readers to know about their new promotion to find the most beautiful baby. Calling all proud parents! It’s time for “LIVE! with Regis and Kelly’s” annual Beautiful Baby Search, and the popular morning talk show again is teaming with Parenting and Gerber® brand to give moms and dads the chance of a lifetime: to turn their adorable little one into a cover baby for Parenting Early Years, plus take home $125,000 to be used toward a college education.
In addition to the top prize, “LIVE” and Gerber will award an additional $100,000 to be divided amongst four runners-up, also to be used toward a college education. And all ten semi-finalists will be awarded a year’s supply of Gerber® products customized for their child’s developmental stage using the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy™ nutrition system, which helps provide parents with nutrition guidance for their children from birth to preschool.
To enter “LIVE’s” 2010 Beautiful Baby Search, parents must submit a recent photo of their child by mail or by visiting LiveRegisandKelly.com or www.livesbeautifulbaby.com, where further details and full contest rules are available.
Entrants must be between the ages of 6 months and 48 months and the photo must have been taken within the last month. The staffs of “LIVE” and Parenting will narrow down the thousands of entries to ten semi-finalists, who will be announced on the show on the first day of Beautiful Baby Week, March 1-5, 2010. Viewers will be given the opportunity to vote for their favorites, and the top five contestants will be revealed on “LIVE” on March 2.
The five finalists and their parents will fly to New York to be guests on “LIVE” and take part in a Parenting photo shoot, and the week will culminate with the announcement of the grand prize winner.

I've tried entering this contest with every browser I have and with both file extensions that they accept and I always get invalid file extension. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes I have changed the size of the pic and no luck this sucks. But u should try sending it in the mail.
Breezy- Have you checked to make sure your pic is .jpeg because I had that same probelm. I changed it and it uploaded fine but now but the thumbnail will not extend around the entire pic. Has anyone else had this issue?
I too am having the same problem. I keep getting that invalid extension message when I try to upload and I have tried everything!
Make sure you pic is in .jpeg and not .jpg. The "e" makes a big difference. But the thumbnail is not extending around the pic when using the arrows! WTH?
I don't understand why they are single-ing out the state of Maine.. My baby has the right to go to college, as much as the next baby.
Maine created a new law in September under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Many sweepstakes companies do not want to deal with this law so they will not allow Maine participants. Read more about the law here
If you cant upload a pic on the computer, try sending one in! The due date is right around the corner! If u dont think the pic is big enough send in a better photo! The harder you try the better your chances!
if you click around in the picture, the box will move.. it will not let you drag the lines… hope that helps 🙂
I cannot find the 2011 sweepstakes. Are they doing another Beautiful Baby search this year?
I am wondering the same thing- the cutoff is usually January, so I guess they’re not doing it this year???
