The judges had a very hard time making this decision as every child that entered worked hard and showed that they had the potential to be great film critics. We encourage you to enter again when the contest is re-opened. With the experience and practice you have, your chances will be even greater next time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"MsoNormal\">KIDS FIRST! is very proud that many of our 2012 Film Critics will be continuing on with us. We welcome back: Raven Devanney, Morgan Bertsch, Cheyenne Nguyen, Camille Bajema, Anthony Aranda, Julianna Noone and Brianna Beaton. They will all continue to do reviews and work on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.voiceamerica.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions<\/a> radio show, and will also serve as advisors and mentors for our new critics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"MsoNormal\">It&#8217;s going to be a great year at KIDS FIRST!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState=\"false\" LatentStyleCount=\"156\">  <\/w:LatentStyles> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> \n\n<style>  \/* Style Definitions *\/  table.MsoNormalTable \t{mso-style-name:\"Table Normal\"; \tmso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; \tmso-tstyle-colband-size:0; \tmso-style-noshow:yes; \tmso-style-parent:\"\"; \tmso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; \tmso-para-margin:0in; \tmso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; \tmso-pagination:widow-orphan; \tfont-size:10.0pt; \tfont-family:\"Times New Roman\"; \tmso-ansi-language:#0400; \tmso-fareast-language:#0400; \tmso-bidi-language:#0400;} <\/style>\n\n <![endif]--><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"hidden\" value=\"undefined\" id=\"mac_address\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"triggerLogout\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIDS FIRST! is so excited to announce our new KIDS FIRST!
