Search for new "Face of Fun" to run through Nov. 6, 2011

It's time for parents to break out their cameras and capture the essence of "fun" on their children's faces. This contest scours America for the next "Face of Fun," which will be displayed on the front of millions of future Balloon Time Helium Balloon Kits. MBK founders Barb & Tina are proud to again be among the Guest Judges for the fifth annual "Put A Face On Fun." Last year's winner is an MBK reader and we hope to represent the face of fun once again!

In addition to participating in a professional photo shoot and being featured on Balloon Time's packaging for the following year, the grand-prize winner will receive a Disney Cruise Line® family vacation for four (subject to availability). Fifty first-prize winners will receive a Balloon Time 30 Helium Balloon Kit.

To enter this year's contest, parents can upload their child's photograph at www.PutAFaceOnFun.com. Uploaded photographs must be in GIF (.gif) or JPEG (.jpg) format and may not exceed a file size larger than 200 KB. Professional photographs will be disqualified.

Children ages 3 to 11 are eligible for the contest, and entries will be accepted through Nov. 6, 2011, noon ET. Each photograph will be scored by a panel of judges based on the following criteria: smile, age appropriateness, expression of fun and suitability for appearing on packaging.

Parents and friends of participants are encouraged to get in on the fun, as a portion of the final tally will be determined by America's vote. Individuals can vote by selecting their favorite entry photo at www.PutAFaceOnFun.com. For official rules or to learn more about the contest, visit www.PutAFaceOnFun.com.
