Gap's Casting Call Returns by Popular Demand

Is your child amazingly awesome, brave, curious, confident, carefree, eager, fearless, funny, loving, loud, proud, blunt, thoughtful, honest, modest, kind, quirky, clever and cool? Are they wonderfully-naïve-yet-independent, unstoppable and perfectly imperfect kids?

On July 30th Gap is launching Casting Call 2015 in UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar, the widely popular contest that celebrates kids being kids, by inviting parents to submit photos of their children for the chance to win Gap Gift Vouchers, as well as the opportunity to be featured in a leading magazine and select Gap store window displays.

“Casting Call is one of our favorite programs at Gap and we think that it’s a favorite for parents around the world as well,” said Olivia Doyne, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Gap. “By celebrating kids and their individual personalities and interests, we hope to encourage them to always believe in their unique selves.”
