Prevent Blindness America, the nation’s oldest non-profit, eye health and safety organization, is announcing the dates of the 2013 “Most Beautiful Eyes” contest. The contest allows children across the United States the chance to win a $10,000 educational scholarship from Marchon Eyewear.
From June 24 - July 31, 2013, parents of children ages zero to 17 are encouraged to enter their child in the Prevent Blindness America Most Beautiful Eyes Contest by submitting a photo to the Prevent Blindness America Facebook page at facebook.com/preventblindness.
From August 1 - 31, 2013, the public will be encouraged to place online votes for their choice of the child with the most beautiful eyes. Each state will have a winner (void where prohibited), who advance to the second round of voting.
All state winners will receive a free pair of Real Kids Shades sunglasses and a copy of the children's book, "Jacob's Eye Patch" by Beth Kobliner Shaw and Jacob Shaw.
The national winner will be decided by the panel of celebrity judges including, ORA-TV's Larry King, "Fox NFL Sunday" host Curt Menefee, actress Barbara Eden, and bestselling author Beth Kobliner Shaw.
The 2013 national winner will be announced at the Prevent Blindness America Annual Awards Banquet on Friday, November 8, 2013. The national winner and two family members will enjoy a weekend in Chicago where they will accept the award.
Real Kids Shades encourages all their customers to enter the contest and follow along on Facebook. They will continue to give updates on the contest on our facebook page facebook.com/realkidsshades.
"The PBA Most Beautiful Eyes Contest provides a unique opportunity to remind parents about the importance of making sure our children's eyes are healthy," said Hugh R. Parry, Prevent Blindness America president and CEO.
