Can I sponsor the child of a friend or does the youth have to be sponsored by a parent, grandparent or legal guardian?

Anyone can sponsor an entry. I would like at least one of the three pictures showing that child doing the work. I try not to think this to hard but wouldn't want someone putting half a dozen kids into the contest under one profile.
Of course, you could always get someone you know to enter a child or even two with your help.

The youth contests are not only for our 'children' but also for the children we teach.
The only way this hobby can grow is if we teach the youth. Safety is also something you need to teach.

So my reply is that they don't have to be blood relation. You can sponsor a friends child......make sure that you have permission from the child's parents.
