On June 24, ECPs can encourage their patients to take part in Prevent Blindness America's 2013 Most Beautiful Eyes Contest, which allows children across the U.S.the chance to win a $10,000 educational scholarship from Marchon Eyewear. From June 24 through July 31, 2013, parents of children ages zero to 17 are encouraged to enter their child in the Contest by submitting a photo to the Prevent Blindness America Facebook page at
Facebook.com/preventblindness. The contest is sponsored by
Marchon Eyewear,
Real Kids Shades (RKS),
Eagle Eyes Optics and
Walters Golf. Then, from August 1-31, the public will be encouraged to place online votes for their choice of the child with the most beautiful eyes. Each state will have one winner (void where prohibited), who will advance to the second round of voting. All state winners will receive a free pair of RKS sunglasses and a copy of the children's book "Jacob's Eye Patch" by Beth Kobliner Shaw and Jacob Shaw. Once again, the celebrity panel of judges will include ORA-TV's Larry King, "Fox NFL Sunday" Host Curt Menefee, and actress Barbara Eden. New to the panel is financial journalist and bestselling author Beth Kobliner Shaw, whose forthcoming book "Jacob's Eye Patch" speaks to what it is like to be a child with a vision problem. The national winner and two family members will enjoy a weekend in Chicago to attend the Prevent Blindness America Annual Awards Banquet on Friday, Nov. 8, 2013, where the $10,000 educational scholarship will be officially awarded.
