Baby Appleseed
Who will be our 2026 baby appleseed royalty?
This MSAHF contest gives younger children in our community the opportunity to compete for the titles of Baby Appleseed and is also fund-raising event for the festival.
Voting will be open to the general public by submitting
monetary donations via our website - $1 equals one vote!
The winners' announcement will be held during the festival weekend at a special ceremony at the Berkeley County Youth Fairgrounds.
Saturday, October 17th • 5PM
The links to vote for your favorites will be activated online by Sept 1st, and will be open for voting until October 15th. Each child will be assigned an "apple name" and their headshot will appear along with the link to vote - so be sure to share that with your friends and family!
