Story Competition Survey

Here at IAIM Australia we are looking for your "infant massage story" that best captures the words: Protect. Nurture. Love.

All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of judges and the entry that best captures these three words, will win an autographed copy of Anne Geddes, 320 page, fully illustrated autobiography: A Labour of Love.

If the winning entry is submitted by a parent who has attended an infant massage class with a current IAIM Instructor, the Instructor will win a $100 voucher (choice of Coles/ Myer, Woolworths, or Westfield).

Your story can focus on any aspect of infant massage and can be told in writing (case studies, evaluation, personal narrative), photos, collages, or even video, film or animation. (remember...any digital submissions such as video, must be provided in an editable format, and not posted in a public forum).

To enter, you need to first put your entry together. Once you are ready to submit your entry, simply fill in this online form and send your entry (by post or email) to the address given below. You can enter as many times as you like (but you need to fill in a new form for each entry).
