ONE of the County Press’s most popular competitions over the past couple of years has been Child of the Year.
Organised in conjunction with Dorset-based portrait specialist Fraser Portraits, the multi-category competition gives Islanders the chance to vote on who they think is the most appealing child.
We will publish pictures of all the entrants and readers will be asked to vote for their choice of winner in four categories. Those winners will pick up some great prizes, including framed portraits and engraved cups.
But first we need some beautiful babies and children to photograph for the competition.
Fraser Portraits, of Poole, will be at the Riverside Centre, Newport, from 10am to 4pm, between Monday, March 1, and Saturday, March 6, inclusive.
The four categories are:
• Babies up to 12 months.
• Boys 13 months to five years.
• Girls 13 months to five years.
• Siblings or individual children, six to 12 years.
You can enter a child in one category, using the entry coupon published here, which you should take on the day. It is a condition of entry that you agree to your child’s (children’s) photograph with first and second name being published in the County Press. Readers’ votes will decide the winners of the categories.
