IT’S the last few days of the Redditch Standard Baby of the Year 2018 competition and time is running out for your Bonnie Baby to take part in our free to enter competition.
This year it is bigger and better than ever with hundreds of beautiful babies already having had their pictures taken.
We’re also delighted this year to welcome a representative from the Kingfisher Shopping Centre to join our panel of independent judges.
Professional portrait photographer Andrea Powell’s mobile studio is currently set up by The Works and Primark in the Kingfisher Shopping Centre and will be there until this Saturday, March 31.
The competition is open to two age groups – 0 to 18 months and 19 to three years – and all you have to do is take your baby along between 9.30am and 4.30pm and Andrea will take a selection of professional photographs of your child. No appointment is necessary.
After the pictures are taken you will be asked back a few days later to choose which print to enter in our competition.
Andrea will also be offering a selection of the prints to buy at an extremely competitive price, but you are under no obligation whatsoever to do so. All children photographed will be given a number and then entered into the competition.
Voting will take place via our website at www.redditchstandard.co.uk where you can click and vote for the number of your favourite – please note no child’s name will appear.
The ten babies receiving the most votes will go through to our final, along with ten more babies selected by our independent panel of judges.
First prize in each category will be a large canvas portrait of your child plus a special gift, together worth £200, while second prize will also be a canvas portrait of your child worth £100 plus a special gift.
The final decision will rest with our judges and no correspondence will be entered into.
If voting, only one click will be counted.
Employees of Bullivant Media Ltd and their families are not eligible to enter.
