TIME is running out for parents who want to put their youngsters forward for the Daily Echo Child of the Year 2013 contest.
Proud parents who think their child has special star quality have until August 24 to enter them into the portrait competition to find the child with the most dazzling smile.
Each person entering will need to cut out a Child of the Year ‘photo session coupon’ which will be published every day in the Daily Echo until August 24.
Bring a copy of the coupon to one of the photo shoots taking place from 10am to 4pm at Sainsbury’s Castlepoint August 15 to 18 and Sovereign Shopping Centre August 21 to 24.
Entries are free and children must be aged from 0 months to 12 years old.
Supplements of all the pictures will appear from September 12 to 16.
Voting for the child you would like to see crowned as the winner will be by post, text and phone, with full details printed within each supplement.
