Do you have a Gerber Baby? Does everyone who sees your baby say that your baby should model? The 2014 / 2015 Gerber baby modeling contest and photo search is on now!
Gerber Baby Model Search 2014
Gerber is running a baby photo contest and winners may get up to $50,000.00 and a starring role in a national Gerber TV commercial. The contest is open right now and you can upload your baby’s picture for consideration. The baby model search is open to babies ages newborn to 3 years old with separate categories for each age group.
The Gerber baby is one of the most recognized images in the world – In 1928 Gerber held a contest to find a face to represent a baby food ad campaign. Artist Dorothy Hope Smith entered her simple charcoal sketch of a tousled-hair, bright-eyed cherub of a baby with endearing pursed lips.
The original contest was used for a promotion for a new product the company was launching. In 1928, the “Gerber Baby” sketch was introduced in an advertisement for the new product in the Good Housekeeping magazine. The world recognized sketch by Smith became the Fremont Canning Company’s official trademark in 1931. Fremont Canning later became the Gerber brand after a name change in 1941.
Even though the Smith sketch is still the companies logo, and has been for over 80 years, Gerber runs different ad campaigns nationally and holds still holds contests to find the perfect baby for their new ads.
So, do you think you have a Gerber Baby?
The contest is open for submissions now and parents have until the end of the month to upload photos of their child.

I’ve been wanting to get my gorgeous lil baby girl’s picture out there because I think she’d be perfect for the little baby diaper commercials and other Gerber relate items. She’s got beautiful blonde hair and striking blue eyes. She’s just the cutest baby I’ve seen and is very responsive to her name. She smiles and is always happy and in a great mood. Plus, she’s extremely photogenic.
