Claire, 8, of Coppell, TX, has mastered riding a bike with only one hand. When she's not riding her bike, she chows down on spaghetti, reads The Littles and listens to Fabulous from High School Musical 2. Her signature look always features a clip in her hair, a great look for when she grows up to be a sportscaster.
Jimena, 8, from League City, TX, loves to see movies on the weekends and aspires to become like Miley Cyrus when she grows up. She has been given special talents in painting, singing and dancing, she loves to eat chicken fingers and Cesar salad and kick it in her favorite jeans and hair accessories.
Jovana, 8, from Rochelle, IL, loves to snack on red apples, giving her the energy she needs for fast pitching in softball and playing basketball. When she's not being sporty, Jovana loves to sleep in and hang out with friends. Her favorite subject in school is science and she would love to grow up to be a teacher or a veterinarian.
Sidney, 5, of Lewisville, TX, wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and is especially keen on her music and movement class. On the weekends she likes to watch movies, visit the park and chill with her friends. Her cuisine of choice is fruits and veggies and loves playing soccer, dancing and hopping around.

A.J., 7, of Dunkirk, MD, is a big fan of football whether it's playing with his Pee-Wee team or going to U.S. Naval Academy games. He is perfecting his piano skills, loves to wear hoodies and dreams of being a firefighter someday. He gets down to The Cupid Shuffle and loves noodles and P.E.
Diego, 9, of Houston, TX, loves to play soccer on the weekends but off the field he hits the books studying his favorite subjects, social studies and math. Torn between his celebrity looks and his soccer skills, Diego wants to grow up to be either a pro soccer player or an actor. He enjoys carpaccio, shrimp and ravioli.
Jared, 7, from Santa Fe, NM, enjoys hitting up the local Farmers Market on the weekends and dreams of being a coffee maker in the future. He chows down on Sloppy Joe's when he's not playing soccer or practicing art. His favorite accessory is his bike and he enjoys Reading Buddies at school.
Jet, 7, from Gray, TN, is well on his way to achieving his dream of being a model when he grows up. He loves to play and have fun, specifically on the basketball court. He chills to Christian music while eating his favs, pizza and chicken. When he's not being athletic in all kinds of sports, Jet enjoys fine tuning his math skills or watching WALL-E.
Kellen, 7, from Wellington, FL, is a talented gamer but when he's not controlling the video game characters, he's doing flips and handstands of his own with Judo, break dancing and gymnastics. He's building up his resume for when he becomes a model and an actor.
"Out of so many great entries, these 20 finalists truly personify the Gap brand with their expressive faces and bright personalities," adds Wallack. "This contest brings a tremendous amount of pride to our brand and we can't wait to see which four children will be selected as the next faces of babyGap and GapKids."
The 20 finalists got a sneak-peek of what its like to be a bonafide model when Gap flew them to San Francisco to participate in a professional photo shoot in November. For becoming a finalist, each will receive prize packages including a $300 gift card from babyGap / GapKids as well as prizes from Snapfish by HP, the No. 1 online photo service.
