CLIX™, an Atlanta-based, rapidly growing franchisor in the portrait photography industry, announces the Rochester, New York winner of the first annual CLIX Cutest Kid Contest. 3 and-a-half year-old, Ava Arbore, from Greece, N.Y., is named the winner of Rochester-area’s CLIX Cutest Kid Contest. Grand Prize Winner, Ava, was chosen from over 740 entries and 9000 votes.
Last March, CLIX invited customers to make an appointment to have a free sitting for their child at any of the 4 Rochester area CLIX portrait studios. All customers received a 5x7 portrait at no cost and were automatically entered into the 2006 CLIX Cutest Kid Contest. The Cutest Kid Contest was open to all children 4 and under.
Friends, family, co-workers and customers were asked to stop by the Greece, Henrietta, Irondequoit or Victor CLIX portrait studio or visit www.clix-rochester.com and vote for the cutest kid. The top 16 finalists were chosen by popular vote, with the Grand Prize Winner selected by CLIX panel of judges.
