LAKEVILLE, Minn.–Barbara’s, pioneer of delicious cereals and snacks made from wholesome ingredients, today launched the Barbara’s Believe in Better Contest, a nationwide search to recognize American youth “doing better” by leading a do-good, non-profit, charity, school or community project. Building upon the success of Barbara’s 2017 Kidtrepreneur Search Campaign, which spotlighted extraordinary kids who made the world a better place through their unique ideas and ventures, the Believe in Better Contest will recognize outstanding children who are making a positive impact in their communities through their acts and services.

“Since conducting our Kidtrepreneur campaign in 2017, we have been blown away by the selfless endeavors of kids across the nation who are truly inspired to make a positive impact in the world,” said Michelle Gomez, director of marketing at Barbara’s. “With Believe in Better, we want to recognize and applaud the work of the next generation and help further their passions and commitments to doing good in their communities.”

Parents, teachers, family members or friends ages 18 and older are encouraged to nominate exemplary kids younger than 18-years-old and their do-good project via the Believe in Better tab on Barbara’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BarbarasBakery. Submissions will be open now through July 10, 2019, after which point five finalists will be selected for a period of public voting. Prizes will be awarded to each winner’s do-good project based on the number of votes received. These prizes include:

  • Grand Prize: $10,000
  • First Runner-Up Prize: $1,500
  • Second Runner-Up Prize: $1,000
