In September 2009, The Gap put out a casting call in partnership with Disney Family.com to all model agencies to find new models for their kids commercials. They were looking for babies, children and teens. The casting call went out to baby model search agents, infant model search agents, child model search agents and teen model search agents nationwide. The infants had to be newborn to 18 months old, the babies under 4 years old, and the children were ages 5 to 10 years old. http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/about/
The entries were accepted from September to October 2009. From the entries, they selection was narrowed down to 20 finalists. These finalists participated in a professional GAP photo shoot. The winners, who were chosen by the public voting were announced in early in February 2010. The four winners receive a VIP pass for four at Disney's The Lion King.http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/about/
The Gaps CommericalKids conducted child acting auditions for their TV commercials early in 2010 and the winners were decided upon. William from Medford, MA and Shyenne of Pembroke Pines, FL are the winners from the babies category. Madison of Long Beach, CA and Sammy from Saratoga, CA are the winners for the childrens category.http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/winners/ There were many more that made the Best of Galleries list for their brightest smiles, hair and character.http://family.go.com/gapcastingcall/
There are many children who are earning millions of dollars every year doing TV commercials so they are expecting quite a good response to their request.
If your child is chosen, it could be a great way to get a college fund for them, they'll get experience in front of a [[camera] and audience[ and they'll possibly be offered work with other television or film roles. http://monterey.montereycountyweekly.com/Auditions/casting-calls-for-kids-baby-gap-commercial-auditions-kids-modeling-agents-auditions-acting/712610
