Is your little one the cutest?

The Kent Messenger Cute Kids competition is back for another year, with some incredible prizes up for grabs.

This year the contest is being held inside The Mall shopping centre in the heart of the town.

Our photographer will be there from Wednesday, August 2 until Saturday, August 5 from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm everyday with the last sitting at 3.45pm daily.

The photo sessions do not need to be booked - parents and their children can just turn up.

Photos will then appear in the paper at a later date and everyone votes to crown the cutest kid.

There are fantastic prizes for the top three, including a 20x16 canvas portrait for the winner.

A 10x8 print of the competition entry picture can be bought for the special price of £5 (RRP £20) at the end of the photography session.

Details on how to vote will appear when the photos are published in the Kent Messenger and on our social media channels.
