How Does it Work?

Enter a favorite photo of your child for the chance to be crowned the "Cutest Kid of 2017," sponsored by The Pantagraph, Casey’s Garden Shop, Little Jewels Learning Centers, Kickapoo Creek Nursery, Whitacre's Furniture, Childers Door Service of Central Illinois, Tony Roma's and McDonald's! Winners will receive the great prize packages below from our local sponsors!

Photos can be submitted between Sun., Sept. 24 through Sat., Oct. 7, 2017. Submissions will be separated into three age categories: Newborn to age 2, ages 3-5 and ages 6-12. One submission allowed per child.

The first round of voting will begin on Sun., Oct. 8 through Sat., Oct. 14, 2017. Votes will be $0.25 each, with a minimum $1.00 donation.  All proceeds from voting will benefit The Baby Fold. You can submit an unlimited number of votes during the voting period.  

After the first round of voting, the top 10 photos in each age category with the highest number of votes will move on to the second round of voting, running from Sun., Oct. 15 through Sat., Oct. 21, 2017.  Vote totals will go back to zero at the start of the second round. 

At the end of the second round, the photo with the most votes accumulated during the second round in each age category will receive the prize package below from our local sponsors.
