This new contest, presented by Dental Depot, celebrates the love of moms and mother figures. Whether you’re a mom sharing a special moment with your child, a partner showcasing a cherished memory or anyone honoring their own mom or an important mother figure, we want to see all the heartwarming photos that celebrate the love and connection between mothers and their families. And… you can win some great prizes for you, your mom or mother figure in your life!

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED. Our winners are:

First Place: Alice Long โ€“ โ€œMy mom is 77 and age isnโ€™t slowing her down! She never misses a recital, musical, or family adventure. Sheโ€™s a second mom to my daughters, helping with school, projects, and homeschool. Most of all, sheโ€™s a Christian role model, praying and reading the Bible with them. Iโ€™m so thankful for my sweet mom!โ€

Second Place: Farjana Halain โ€“ โ€œNothing is comparable to the divine love of a mother for her child; sunflowers smile around their warm bonding. I want to show gratitude to my wife, a loving and sacrificing mother to our son. Salute to all the moms out there for their unconditional love and sacrifice!โ€

Third Place: Jasmine Robinson โ€“ โ€œWait, Iโ€™m a mom?!!! I thought I was just babysitting! Life is such a blessing, and Iโ€™m so glad to do life with these 3 cool kids! It takes commitment to pour into the next generation, but Iโ€™m 100% committedโ€ฆ they are my retirement plan! Lol.”
