Parents have just hours left to enter their children into our Cute Kids competition.

Our photographer is set up at The Mall in Maidstone to get plenty of snaps, with the cutest picture picking up a £500 prize.

The competition has been running since July 31, with parents bringing their children to the shopping centre in their most adorable outfits.

Photos will soon appear in the Kent Messenger and our readers will decide who is this year's cutest kids.

Winners will pick up a £500 canvas portrait, with smaller prizes available for second, third and fourth place.
