This article will be relaying the various rules to become one of their participants.

Gerber is an American owned company that was first established in 1927. Its first base is in Fremont, Michigan in the United States.

While there is no specific date assigned to it, the company typically announces it on their official website to allow ample time for preparation and for word to spread. This in turn, allows enough time for interested applicants to send in their best production.

Take note though, that the corporation will not require you to pay a certain fee for entering the competition. Any person who is claiming to be a representative and asks you to pay an enrollment expense is not associated with the corporation in any way. In actuality, it is open for anybody, as long as they are able to comply with the requirements and rules.
