Third Annual Gap Casting Call and Giveaway

October 2, 2008 · by Jennifer Gniadecki · Filed Under MommyBlog Giveaways, MommyBlog Reviews 

Gap is touring the country (in partnership with lilsugar and Snapfish) to see if your little one has what it takes to be voted the new face of GapKids and BabyGap! The Third Annual Gap Casting Call is searching for next year’s cutest, freshest face. Could your little one be the one? There’s only one way to know, get out there and go to a casting call!

Super cool interview

I’m so excited - I was lucky enough to score an interview with super-busy, super-nice Heather Maddan of lilsugar to get some tips that will help you and your little ones get through a casting call. Even if you have never been to one before,

“The worst thing you can do is make your kids feel uncomfortable,” says Heather. “Be casual and let the kids enjoy themselves. Children are amazing when they’re just being children and the photographer will capture that.”

Heather also says you should avoid putting your kids in clothes they won’t be comfortable in. Make sure your little one has freedom of movement, because that will add to the comfort level and make for a better picture at the end of the day. If your child is happy in a t-shirt and pair of little khakis – that is what you should have them wear to the photo shoot.

Heather assures me this is a fun event for the kids and that the “kid wranglers” are very friendly and helpful. If the line is too long, they’ll even give you a time card…so you can go have fun and come back when it’s time for your shoot.

I don’t know about you, but I think it is fantastic that The Gap cares about my kid getting antsy in line.

Don’t fear the perfect little children

A representative from The Gap, Katie O’Kane, told MommyBlog Reviews, “The purpose of this shoot is personality. We want that spark, that look that connects with you and makes you smile.” It’s not about the most polished kids or the most perfect kids.

Your child is already good enough, pretty enough, handsome enough, and basically everything else enough to be part of this casting call. This isn’t about six foot high bouffant hair and lipstick on a two year old. This is real kids wearing real clothes, and your child is welcome to come and participate.

It helps that Gap is making the casting call easier than ever. You don’t have to have photos, an agent, or an unhealthy desire to see your child become rich and famous. A relaxed atmosphere, a few pictures, and you are on your way to becoming the next face of The Gap.

What next?

I’ll be at the casting call in downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue (it starts at 9am and goes until 3pm), but there are still more coming – check here to see if your state has an upcoming casting call.

Even if you can’t make it to any of the casting calls, or your state has already had one, you can still enter to win! Visit the Gap Casting Call website and you can enter a photo you have already taken! geeksugar has even put together a slideshow that will guide you through the process step by step.

Gap is making it super easy to give your child the chance to be the face of GapKids. Why not take a few minutes and see what happens?

For more information, coverage on the event, or to see what people are saying about the Third Annual Gap Casting Call visit lilsugar and get your fill of Gapaliciousness!

The Giveaway

I’m really excited about this! I have ten jean gift cards to give away to lucky and amazing and wonderful MommyBlog Reviews readers. Yes, TEN!

Your odds are better than ever for winning a free pair of jeans.

I was asked by a fellow mommy if these jeans come in “fluffy” sizes. The answer is…sort of. The jeans come in sizes to 20 - but even if you’re bigger than that, these certificates are good at GapKids, so if it won’t work for you, it will work for your child! (The gift certificate is up to a $69 value!)

Here’s how to enter.

The normal “leave a comment” routine applies here. An extra entry will be given for anyone that signs up to the RSS Feed or has email updates delivered via email to their inbox. Why? Monday I’m going to have a wrap-up entry with videos, pictures, and more interviews letting you know how my experience at the Gap Casting Call went!

That and we’re giving away a digital camera and a bike soon. Just sayin’.

This contest will run through Saturday October 11th @ 9pm Central Time. Winner will be announced on the blog and through PrizeyWinners no later than Monday, October 13th @ 9pm Central Time. Winners have five days to email me with your mailing address to send the gift card. There are ten prizes, so be a rock star and share the link to enter with your friends!

    Disregard that last comment; my computer’s screwed up. Anyway, can these gift cards be used at the outlet stores? For some reason, I always have better luck finding my size at the outlet than at the regular store.

  281. Rachel Witt on October 11th, 2008 10:23 am

    Hi, this is my first time on your site, but this is really cool stuff! I am a missionary wife in Mexico. I finally lost weight after 3 years of being pregnant and breastfeeding my 2 girls. Last night I was on a search trying to find GAP jeans for as inexpensive as possible! We are extremely tight on money, but someone gave me a pair of GAP jeans and they fit sooo good, I could use another pair! at this time I have 1 pair of jeans that fit and one pair of black pants!

  282. Peggy Gorman on October 11th, 2008 10:35 am

    GAP jeans are one of the best fits and great styles, count me in

  285. Lori Z. on October 11th, 2008 3:57 pm

    I love Gap jeans, they last forever. I did enter my daughter in the casting call and afterwards felt a tinge of guilt. Am I that kind of mom? I do think that my daughter would like it since she gets in any picture she can and she plays dress up, but who knows?
