Cover Kids Search - Kids Get Chance to Appear on Metro Parent's Magazine Cover

DETROIT, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Is your kid a cover kid? Metro Parent is looking for its next cover models. Metro Parent's Cover Kids Search is an annual event where kids from across the metro area come for a chance to win a coveted spot on the cover of one of our monthly magazines. All it takes is a big smile and lots of personality. This year's Cover Kids Search takes place June 4 & 5 at Great Lakes Crossing Outlet Mall!  The mall is located on Baldwin Road and I-75 in Auburn Hills. Children 12 and under are invited to attend with hopes of becoming a Metro Parent Cover Kid!

Last year's proud winners include: from Ann Arbor, Emma, 5; New Baltimore, Faith, 3; Pleasant Ridge, Jordan, 2; Ypsilanti, Langston, 4; Commerce, Isabella, 8; Ypsilanti, Akira, 1; Trenton, Ethan, 5; Royal Oak, Brooke, 10; Westland, Nikhil, 5; Birmingham, Kate, 5; and Detroit, Kami, 3. One of last year's winners, Owen, 6, from Waterford, landed a commercial as a direct result of his February cover.

Scouts from a local talent agency, Productions Plus, specializing in kids' modeling, choose winners based on self-confidence, poise and personality. The goal is to provide a positive, non-competitive experience for all entrants and their families. The kids are to come with no make-up on and regular everyday clothes.

Everyone who enters will get a Family Fun Pack of coupons to use at kid destinations around the metro area, a t-shirt – and will also have a chance to win other great prizes! Walk-in contestants are welcome and encouraged.  The walk-in registration fee is $30.00.

Cover Kids Search is presented by Metro Parent and sponsored by McDonald's, MESP, the Henry Ford and Out the Box Photography.
