CK's Most Adorable Munchkins Photo Contest is back for our 2014/2015 Contest!

This year YOU will be the cover photographer again. We want YOU to shoot a photo for our 2015 Spring cover of CK Child. So get your cameras out, get your munchkin(s) fabbed up with a fabulous Spring wardrobe and stage a 'spring-themed' set that you think would be perfect for our next spring cover! 
Where Do I Start? What will work?
Well...anywhere and anything! There really are minimal rules for what the cover should be. It must feature local children at a location within the boundaries of Chatham-Kent, it must be your own original photograph, it must have a 'Spring' feel and it must be a current photo. Other than that, be as creative as you'd like! It can be a simple photo of your favourite munchkins partaking in a favourite Spring-type activity or you can set up an extravagant set design with props. It will be a little trickier at this time of the year since the air is becoming cooler and crisper but that's all part of the fun! 
Have the perfect photo from this past Spring? That works too! Your photo must be from the past 12 months (October 2013 - October 2014)
