You’ve given them food and shelter and clothing and life lessons, and what have your children given you in return? Zip. Well, all that is about to change. Now, thanks to Kabillion.com’s new kids-only contest, your young ones can give you the greatest gift of all: tickets to the “American Idol” finale and results show.

Beginning today, March 19, children between the ages of 7 and 17 can enter the contest by registering at kabillion.com and creating an avatar. Other Kabillion users can then vote on their favorite avatar until April 29.

Four second-prize winners will get to see the final three “A.I.” contestants duke it out the week before finals.

One first-prize winner (*and the lucky parent) will score an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood, and will be at the Nokia Theatre, in the flesh, when the seventh “American Idol” winner is announced.

The show will be epic, and plus, it’s a great chance for some parent/child bonding. Because as Kabillion CEO Bill Schultz says, “Nothing can bring families and friends together around their televisions like ‘American Idol.’ ”
