How do I get my kids into TV commercials?

Im looking for local auditions for my kids for commercials or anything like that. also looking for free photo contests and things of that sort. does anybody have any experience with this or any suggestions for me? we live in the Philadelphia area.

When a commercial comes on the TV, hurl your children head first in to the television.
Why? Look at Brittany Spears.
you need a talent agent and some professional headshots made - agent will get you on casting calls. after that, it's up to the kid's looks and acting ability
open a Koogan account for them,make sure they have good grades and get picuters/headshots and ,not sure how to find agents or ad companies in your area. but you must have the bank account for them and a work permit from their school or your city before they can start working
go to www.instantcast.com. Sign up! I tried it before and I was actually on a commercial that came live on t.v. I hope that answered your question! Good question, bye! Good Luck!
Philadelphia is pretty close to New York City. That's where you'll have to go if you're serious about getting your kids into commercials. It's a serious undertaking because the people your kids will be competing against for relatively few jobs are dedicated. Taking your kids to visit model agencies in NYC is your first step.
these are your local casting directors, and talent agents, etc. send them photos of your kids, take your kids to meet these people, they will be the ones you need to know while you are in Philly http://www.film.org/contact.php?group=production&ad=C565
