ALTON - Last Friday, January 15, the Riverbender.com Community Center hosted another weekly competition; The Selfie Challenge. With 45+ kids coming out to compete during Open-Play hours, the center was full of kids snapping pictures of themselves to enter the competition.

The challenge went like this:
 
At the beginning of the night, each participant was given a list of 10 categories that they could enter. The categories included "best hair", "best pose", "you and your bestfriend", "most people in one selfie" and "funniest face."  
 
Participants had until 8:30 to enter their photos by uploading them to their own personal Instagram accounts and tagging the RBCC in each post. At 8:30, our team of adult volunteers gathered to pick a winner for each category. 
 
Each winner walked away with a selfie stick and the title of Selfie Queen or King. 

Don't miss out on the rest of the RBCC's weekly activities!
