1361.0. "Johnson and Johnson's baby contest?" by SUPER::WTHOMAS () Sun Apr 12 1992 22:41

    Need for some information here.
    
    A friend tonight told me something about the "Johnson and Johnson's
    baby of the century contest" she really wants me to send a picture of
    Spencer to it. Sure, why not, except that in looking through all of my
    baby magazines I don't find reference to it. (Is it over?)
    
    Does anyone know of this and if so could you supply details? Thanks
    very much and be assured that my baby will not be joining in any
    beautiful baby contests but will instead have a very cute picture of
    him sent to this (if it is still on).

    Wendy...
    
    I happen to notice this contest just yesterday in a pack of "baby mail"
    I recieved Sat in the mail...  I read it over, and thought about it
    myself, but wasn't sure what kind of "slogan" to come up with for the 
    picture. You have to come up with a "humerous or charming" caption to
    go with the photo...
    
    Details: (I just fished it out of my pocketbook)
    
    3 x 5 card with : Your name, address, zip, the babys name and birthdate
    		      (baby can be no more than 6 yrs of age in the photo)
    
    ** You MUST also include 2 proofs of purchase and a dated reciept for
    	the purchases of Johnsons baby products.
    
    * Print your name address and phone on the back of the pix along with
    the babys name, birthdate and caption. (photo will become the property
    of Johnson and johnson when you send it)
    
    Address to send to:    Baby of the Century Contest, P.O. Box 14647
    			   Baltimore, MD. 21268
    Entries must be recieved by May 15th, 1992
    
    Grand Prize: 4 CD's for college (totalling $20,227 once matured)
    First prize: 3 CD's for college "          $14,514            "
    Second Prize:2 CD's
    Third Prize: 1 CD
    Honorable mention: (100) $100 US savings bond
    
    *entrants must be US residents.
    
    This is the best I can list right now, (too much work to do), any more
    questions, let me know...
    
    ** Also, this photo does not have to be RECENT, it can be of a baby born 
       between 1892-1992...as long as the baby pictured was not more than
    	6 yrs old at the time of photo..
    
    
    Good Luck!
