Millions of babies are born each year across the globe to families of all different backgrounds. These babies will grow up to become teachers, doctors, lawyers, police officers, fire fighters, mayors, governors and others. But some of these babies, prior to growing up, will take place in a baby contest that judges their cuteness or their outfit. Hundreds of states, towns, and municipalities hold a baby contest at some point during the year, with some of them occurring during the holidays. Possibly the most popular baby contest that occurs today is the one that towns hold during their Fourth of July celebrations.

Fourth of July brings fireworks, streamers, parties, parades and a baby contest. Parents will enter their children in their town’s contest, which consists of dressing the baby up in Fourth of July garb or dressing the baby up like a young Uncle Sam. Some babies will show up at the baby contest dressed as baby soldiers, wearing red, white, and blue clothing, or carrying an American flag when they walk down the parade route. The baby contest could last one hour or a couple of hours, depending on how many babies were entered into the contest.

Some people feel that others should not ‘exploit’ their babies in a baby contest because they are being subjected to the media, judges, and other people looking at their cuteness or beauty at a young age. Other parents, those who enter their baby in a baby contest, feel that a baby contest is just something fun to do on the Fourth of July or during other holidays during the year. Not all parents take these contests seriously. Instead, they view these contests as a way have fun with their baby and enjoy their time together. There are hundreds of contests that take place each year solely for babies; some of them raise money for charity and some award money that parents can put towards their child’s schooling.
