Winners Chosen in Island Images Photogenic Contest (Vero Beach)

On Saturday, September 20th, forty-nine adorable infants and children, from three months to twelve years old, came out to the Holiday Inn Oceanside in Vero Beach to support Children’s Miracle Network by taking part in a photogenic contest coordinated by Island Images Professional Photography Studio, Inc. Each contestant was photographed by Vero Beach photographer, J. Scott Kelly, and will receive a complimentary 5x7 of their best pose as a thank you for their donation to Children’s Miracle Network.

The photographs will be judged with one boy and one girl from each of the four age categories being selected to be featured in upcoming print advertisements and promotional materials for Island Images. Each winner will also receive a $50.00 U. S. Savings Bond, a child’s portrait photography session, and an 8x10 Prestige Portrait Print. If the cute expressions on the children’s faces as they were being photographed are any indication,
the judging was VERY MUCH a difficult task!

Through the contestants’ entry fee donations, as well as additional monetary contributions received, the Island Images photogenic contest raised over $1,800
for Children’s Miracle Network.

Children’s Miracle Network is a non-profit alliance of more than 170 hospitals serving children throughout the United States and Canada. Funds contributed to Children’s Miracle Network benefit
Shands Children’s Hospital at the University of Florida.
