Cute Child Contest Platform

A platform for organizing and running cute baby and child photo contests online. Parents submit photos, community votes, real prizes.

What I am testing

Whether a contest mechanic can create viral social sharing and organic growth without paid ads.

Current lesson

Viral mechanics work in theory. In practice, the distribution problem is harder than the product problem. Getting the first 100 participants is the real challenge.
