This year's crop of Cute Kids will appear in the Kentish Gazette, Whitstable Gazette, Herne Bay Gazette and Faversham News next Thursday (October 3).

The winner of this year's contest, in conjunction with BHS in Canterbury's Marlowe Academy and Starlight Studios, will be voted for by YOU.

The baby with the most text votes will claim the £500 top prize plus a canvas worth £250.

They will also be crowned our Cute Kid 2013.

The runner up will take home a 16in by 12in canvas of their child while the parents of the third-placed cutie win a 12in by 10in canvas.
