THERE are only four days left before this year’s search for the Daily Echo’s Child of the Year closes to entries.

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.

Bring a copy of the coupon to one of the final photo sessions taking place from 10am to 4pm at the Sovereign Shopping Centre in Boscombe from today till August 24.

Entries are free and children must be aged up 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.

Full details of the restuls will be printed within each supplement.
