Why This Contest?
Every kid sees the world differently. Some notice the way light falls on a puddle after rain. Some point a phone at their dog mid-yawn and somehow get the perfect shot. We wanted to give that a stage.
The theme — "What Makes Me Smile" — is intentionally wide open. It can be a person, a place, a moment, a meal, a pet, a view from a window. We didn't want to constrain it because we don't know what makes your child smile. That's the whole point.
How It Works
- 1 A child (up to age 13) takes a photo on any mobile phone.
- 2 A parent or guardian submits the entry with the child's name, age, a caption, and consent.
- 3 The Squbox team reviews every submission before it goes live — nothing is published unreviewed.
- 4 Approved photos appear in the gallery. Anyone can vote for their favourite.
- 5 The top entries by likes are shortlisted. The judging panel picks the final winners.
- 6 Winners are announced on 15 April 2026 and contacted via the number provided at submission.
Judging & Prizes
Likes matter — they help surface the most-loved photos — but the final decision rests with the judging panel. This keeps it fair and ensures it doesn't become a race to see who has the most contacts on WhatsApp.
The top three winners receive cash prizes (₹1,500 / ₹1,000 / ₹500) plus a digital certificate. Prizes are paid via UPI to the parent or guardian's account.
Privacy & Safety
Children's safety is not optional. Every entry is manually reviewed before going live. Contact details (phone or email) are collected only to notify winners — they are never displayed publicly, never shared with anyone, and never used for anything else. Full stop.
The judging panel may request age verification for shortlisted entries. Squbox reserves the right to disqualify any entry that contains inappropriate content.
