A share of £2,000 up for grabs in our Cute Kids competition
This year’s Cute Kids competition starts today and there
are even more ways to win.
The family favourite, which
attracts hundreds of entries each year, is returning to Hempstead
Valley Shopping Centre.
Photographers from Starlight
Studios will be at the Gillingham centre until Saturday, February
23, giving you plenty of time for your little one to enter and win
a share of the £2,000 prize pot.
The competition will be in two
categories: 0 to 24 months and 25 months and over.
The first prize winners in each
group will win £500 with £250 for second place, £100 for third and
three finalists prizes of £50 each.
You’ll find the photographers
outside Clintons, between 9.30am and 4.30pm, with the exception of
set-up day when it will be a 10am start and set-down day will be a
4pm finish.
There’s no need to book an
appointment, just turn up and be ready to smile!
There may be a short wait during busy periods.
Last year’s winners were two
handsome little chaps – Jackson Walsh-Hague and Finley Gadd.
Jackson’s dad Darren Walsh said:
“We are very happy he’s won out of all the children who took part.
He loves noisy books and balls, so we will be treating him
later.”
Mum Sarah Hague said: “We got all
our friends and colleagues to text in and vote.”
Finley’s mum Stephanie said: “I’m
gobsmacked he won as there were so many cute children in the
competition.”
Second prizes went to Tobi
Babatunde and Amelia Quilter with Sienna-Louise Guy and Skye
Colvill placed third.
More than 300 children entered last
year’s contest.
There is no charge to take part in
the competition, but the photographer will be outside The Body Shop
the following week for those who would like to buy a picture.
Photos of all the children will
appear in the Medway Messenger when readers will get a chance to
vote for their favourites.
Keep watching the Medway Messenger for more details about the
competition.
