BizParentz' CARE Awards Invite Applications -- Child Actor Recognition Event

Tired of child-actor-gone bad stories? One organization in Hollywood is battling the image of child actors and supporting the gifted kids who are doing it right.

Hollywood, CA, January 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Young stars behaving badly may be in the news, but one organization wants the world to know that most professional child actors are doing just fine. While many concerned people watch yet another child star struggle, one organization continues to take action of a preventative nature - by acknowledging the child's efforts as a whole person, not simply just as a source of revenue

The CARE Awards gives young performers the venue where they can celebrate their personal and professional successes. Anne Henry of the non-profit organization, Bizparentz Foundation, announced today that awardee applications are now being accepted. The deadline to apply is January 29, 2011.

The 7th annual CARE Awards (Child Actor Recognition Event) will be held on April 30, 2011 at the Globe Theatre inside Universal Studios Hollywood. Billed as a kind of “anti-child-star-gone-bad” event, CARE honors over 150 of the industry’s brightest young stars, for their positive contributions to the entertainment industry. Awardees will receive red carpet entrance to Universal Studios (well attended by press), private awards luncheon, trophies, gift bags, collectible souvenirs, and entrance to Universal Studios Themepark for a day of kid-oriented fun after the event. CARE has earned a reputation as the “hot” event for the under-18 crowd thanks to the creativity of the event planners who make sure that each year’s event is full of surprises.

CARE Awards are be based on a unique point system where young performers (18 and younger) must qualify with a combination of professional acting work in 2010, academics, union membership, training, a written essay, community service, parent industry knowledge, and several other criteria.

Proceeds from the event benefit the BizParentz Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to education, advocacy and charitable support to parents and children engaged in the entertainment industry.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of this event, there will be no complimentary attendance for celebrities. However, they are welcome to participate in the application process for consideration as an awardee. Artist representatives are advised to direct their clients through the application process early if they would like them to attend. The application deadline is January 29, 2010.
