G4) Kids Baking Competition Casting Call

 Hello,
My name is Jillian and I am a Casting Associate for "Kids Baking Championship". We are currently casting children ages 8-13 for Season 3 of "Kids Baking Championship."

We're seeking talented kids with the ability to bake a variety of different dishes, from scratch. Contestants will be selected to appear on the show to participate in a series of baking challenges. Ultimately, one winner will be awarded a grand prize! 
 
Many of the kids that apply for the show are homeschooled so we would love it if you would help us get the word out in your community about this awesome opportunity for talented kid bakers! So if you know of anyone who loves to bake (and is between the ages of 8-13) please SPREAD THE WORD!

To apply, parents can visit: bakingchampionship.com

For anyone that is interested, please fill out an application on the website and then feel free to reach out to me directly for an immediate response. My information is listed below.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Jillian Dank
